โœฆ Synopsis

An examination of the excretion of urea by the bird's kidney is of interest chiefly because in this animal urea is essentially a foreign substance. Only a small fraction of the total nitrogen is excreted in this form, and consequently it might be anticipated that urea would be handled in a different manner than in the mammal, where it is the chief nitrogenous end-product of protein metabolism.

Renal excretion of urea was assessed in adult and larval Ambystoma tigrinurn by comparing simultaneous clearances of urea and inulin. The mean adult urea clearance ratio (Cu/C,,) was 0.70 2 0.08 indicating net urea absorption. Larvae yielded a mean CV/CI, of 0.92 2 0.04. Individual larvae were quite
