โฆ Synopsis
SeTe1S21, has been given in N/IO acid orally to guinea-pigs and rats. The absorption from the gut is greater in the rat. The rat also retains more tellurium, in virtue of its concentration in the blood.
In the rat, but not in the guinea-pig, rabbit, or mouse, the red corpuscles take up tellurium and bind it to intracorpuscular protein, presumably haemoglobin. Thus tellurium may provide a useful marker for the red cells in physiological studies on the rat.

The iodine metabolism of vertebrates, especially of mammals, has been extensively studied. In contrast, iodine metabolism in insects has received relatively little attention. Wheeler ( '47, '50) and Slipka ( '52) noted cuticular concentration and Wheeler ('50) separated several iodinated intermediat
