Extract
The sodium, potassium, calcium, iron and copper have been determined in sixteen marine gastropods, and the results are briefly discussed. A noteworthy finding is the large amount of potassium, calcium and (or) magnesium which may be present in these animals. Lacuna vincta for example may contain over I-I % of potassium, Archidoris britannica 1-58 % of magnesium per 100 g. of live weight
