When potassium is lost from an animal cell, sodium enters. This exchange may be brought about either by immersing the cells in a lowpotassium medium or by stimulation in a normal medium. I n most instances, the analytical work showing this exchange has been done on tissues and the results are complicated by the necessity of allowing for the tissue spaces outside of the cells themselves. This is usually done on the basis of measurements of the chloride space, although recent results by Heilbrunn and Hamilton ('42), tend to cast some doubt on

## Abstract Previous work has revealed that 4S RNA is the primary species of RNA in the axoplasm from the giant axons of the squid and __Myxicola.__ This study shows that axoplasmic 4S RNA from the squid giant axon has the functional properties of tRNA. Axoplasmic RNA was charged with amino acids b
Alligators in fresh water regulate their plasma and cloacal fluid electrolytes at concentrations similar to those of other crocodilians. They have an exchangeable Na pool of 60.8 pmol/gm and a unidirectional Na efflux of 3.9 pmol/100 gm-hr. Of this 11% is excreted from the cloaca, 43% presumably dif
