“…Table 1 shows that concentration of calcium was higher in sera from the mixed arteriovenous blood of the two human foetuses than in the corresponding matemal sera, but the latter were rather low compared with normal values for adults. A depression of maternal serum calcium, especially during the latter half of pregnancy, has been repeatedly described (Bodansky & Duff, 1936;Harding, 1925;de Wesselow, 1922;Ramsay, Thierens &Magee, 1938, andMull, 1936a, b). According to Mull (1936a) the calcium concentration in the foetal serum, although always higher than that in the maternal serum, is determined by the latter.…”

Surprisingly little is known about the amount, location, chemical combination and function of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in foetal tissues. The present work was inspired by this comparative ignorance coupled with the availability of some fresh, well-dated foetal material from the pig and the rabbit. Some human foetuses have also been analysed, and the relevant literature will be mentioned with the presentation of the results. Some information about the physicochemical structure of embryonic cells and fluids has already been published (
