Jorgensen et al. ('54) showed that adult anurans may selectively be depleted of C1 independently of Na; after making C1 available to the animals the deficit was restored. In their study on the cutaneous uptake of C1 by intact frogs, Jorgensen et al. reported that some animals exhibited skin potenti

## ONE FIGUEE It is becoming increasingly clear that the electrolytes of many tissues are distributed in certain specific ways and that it is very important f o r a proper understanding of the function of the particular tissue that this distribution of electrolytes be known. Our knowledge of frog
Net inward transport of C1 in the absence of an electrochemical potential difference was demonstrated in the skin of two species of frog, R. pipiens and R. esculenta under conditions of low ( 2 mM) C1 concentration in the bathing solutions. The electrical potential profle of skins of R. pipiens was
## SEVEN FIGURES I n the course of previous studies of the electrical potential of frog skin (compare Barnes, '39 a, b, '40) it was noted that this potential is very sensitive to mechanical manipulation. Accordingly a special investigation was made of variations in potential associated with distur
