The amounts of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the skin of nine species 01 anurans were estimated by the fluorescence method. Relatively large quantities of 5-HT were found in the dorsal skin of five species of semi-terrestrial frogs, while in the skins of four highly aquatic species none, or only a t

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 muscle and nerve is the most complete in this respect, largely due to the investigations of Fenn and his co-workers (Fenn, '36 and Fenn et al.,

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
