✦ Synopsis

ONE FIGURE

Although there are several reports (Harris, '46 ; Barth, '47, '50) of phosphatase activity of preparations from frog eggs, there appears to be little known about the phosphatases in the tissues of the adult frog. Ponz ('46, '47) has recently reported the presence of glycerophosphatase activity in the digestive tract, liver, kidney, pancreas, and lung of Rana esculenta. The pH optima obtained by Ponz for the liver phosphatases are similar to those generally reported for the mammalian enzymes.
