Abstract
Serial coronal sections were cut from frozen right cerebral hemispheres from five normal human brains. From each section samples of caudate nucleus, putamen, internal and external globus pallidus and substantia nigra were removed. Sampling was such that the entire structure was removed from each slice. The concentration of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity, expressed as units per mg protein, was found to vary between nuclei, and to vary along the anterior to posterior axis of some nuclei. Highest concentrations were found in the caudate nucleus, with the head and tail containing greater amounts than the body. The high concentrations in the head of the caudate may be due to contamination of samples of this region with adjacent nucleus accumbens. In a separate series of cases, the nucleus accumbens was shown to be considerably higher concentrations of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity than the head of the caudate. Concentrations in the putamen tended to decrease along the anterior to posterior axis. In the external globus pallidus, levels of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity showed the most striking changes along the anterior to posterior axis, rising 2.5 fold in the first three samples, and then falling 4 fold in the more posterior sections. The internal globus pallidus had generally lower concentrations, and these varied in a pattern opposite to that in the external globus pallidus. Levels in the substantia nigra were low compared to those in caudate and putamen.

Abstract
Cell doubling time was determined in several ways in the apical mm of newly emerged, 0·2, 1 and 4 cm long lateral roots of Vicia faba L. and in every case it tended to decrease with increase in root length. Similar values were obtained in the roots of each length investigated when cell doubling time was calculated from the rate of passage of cells into the period of DNA synthesis (S) in both control and colchicine treated roots and from the rate of accumulation of cells in metaphase in the presence of colchicine, assuming cell number increased exponentially, i.e. colchicine had not affected the rate of entry of cells into mitosis or S during the 3 to 6 h period over which measurements were taken. A discrepancy was found, however, between the values determined for cell doubling time obtained from these rates and those calculated on the basis of the method devised by Evans and his co-workers (Evans, Neary and Tonkinson, 1957). Possible reasons for such a discrepancy are discussed.

Abstract
1. Using male rats, the availability of fluoride from five by products of the aluminium smelting industry was tested. This was done by considering the balance between fluoride administered in controlled diets and the total fluoride content of waste products eliminated over an experimental period of 1 week. 2. Results indicated that yields of available fluoride expressed as percentage weight of original material were cryolite (Na3ALF6), 45.9%; sodium fluoride (NaF), 41.7%; aluminium fluoride (AFL3.H20), 9.1%; mist eliminator grid solids (with CaF2), 9.4%; reclaimed alumina with adsorbed F, 0.27%. 3. Of the various tissues analysed for fluoride content, only the kidney and femur showed any significant correlation with the amounts of fluoride absorbed or retained.

Abstract
Part I of this paper described levels of familiarity with drugs of fifth form pupils in 29 schools in England. In Part II, changes in reported levels of drug use over 1 year are described in two sets of pupils. First, changes in drug use reported between a 1973 forth form group and a matched fifth form group from the same schools 1 year later (follow-up study); and second, differences in reported levels of use between the 1973 fourth form and a matched group of 1974 fourth forms from the same schools (trend study). It is concluded that there was no evidence of any substantial general increase or decrease in familiarity with drugs in the schools studied during the 1-year period of study.

Abstract
Questionnaires were given to groups of fifteen and sixteen-year-old students in 29 schools in various parts of England, and their reported familiarity with illegal drugs is presented here: those students who have no drug-using acquaintances, those who have such acquaintances but have never been offered an illegal drug, those who have had offers and rejected them all, and those who have ever accepted an offer are distinguished. Levels of acceptance of illegal drugs, which averaged 10.5% across the schools sampled, are compared with levels found in other English surveys. It is concluded that levels of familiarity with illegal drugs varies so much from school to school that attempts to establish a national average figure would not be useful for predicting levels of familiarity in any particular school. Part II of this paper, forthcoming, will discuss changes over the 1-year period 1973-1974.

Abstract
The lymphocyte differentiation antigens detected by rabbit antisera to rat thymocytes and leukaemic cells have been investigated. Thy-1 was the only such antigen detected by the anti-thymocyte serum, which was predominately directed to two xenoantigenic determinants rather than the Thy-1.1 determinant on this molecule. Two additional antigens were recognized by the anti-leukaemia serum. One of these was found on thymocytes and peripheral lymphocytes, but only on 1 per cent of bone marrow cells. The other was found not only on lymphocytes, but also on the nucleated myeloid and erythroid cells of bone marrow.

Abstract
Inflammatory exudates have been produced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate broth 24 hr and again 3 hr before collecting of the exudate. The first injection of broth exerts a "priming" effect leading to an enhanced response to the second injection. By this procedure more than 30 x 106 leucocytes of which 78 per cent. were polymorphs were obtained from each mouse. Administration of paramethasone reduced the number of cells in the exudate when given at the same time as broth but not when given 3 hr before collection of the exudate. In contrast paramethasone was equally effective when given either 24 hr or 3 hr before harvest in suppressing the appearance of intravenously injected pontamine sky blue in the exudate. It was striking that treatment with paramethasone which had reduced the number of polymorphs in the exudate had actually increased the number in blood.

Abstract
The probability of endorsing each multiple-choice item alternative of the Group Personality Projective Test was correlated with the probability of endorsing the alternative as the most socially desirable. The results indicate that about 53% of the measured variance of the test can be attributed to the influence of social desirability. A possible reason for the finding that social desirability has less influence on the test than has been demonstrated with True-False type inventories was discussed. The results suggest caution in evaluating the discriminative validity of the test.

Abstract
Pulsating mammalian myocardial cells were found to be highly susceptible in tissue culture to rapid destruction by streptolysin O. Cessation of beating occurred almost immediately, followed within minutes by multiple cell membrane bleb formation. Parallel with these changes, the cytoplasm became intensely granular and the nuclear membrane apparently thickened when viewed by phase microscopy. At the ultrastructural level, the cell membrane blebs were found to contain relatively small numbers of granular fragments. The endoplasmic reticulum of damaged heart cells was quite swollen, and its contents were considerably condensed. The myofibers were not strikingly altered, but cytoplasmic and mitochondria vacuoles were rather abundant. Cardiac endothelial, kidney epithelial, and fibroblast cells were also susceptible to lysis by this toxin, but the reactions occurred more slowly or bleb formation was less evident. An antiserotonin drug known to be protective against streptolysin-O in vivo (UML-491), did not protect against killing of cardiac cells at the tissue culture level. Serotonin could not be detected in the culture fluid after lysis of cardiac cells by streptolysin O.

Abstract
1. In each of three experiments, two sheep were given diets consisting of hay, or two parts hay to one part barley or one part hay to two parts barley. Each sheep was equipped with a cannula into the rumen and re-entrant cannulas into the proximal duodenum and the terminal ileum. The rations containing barley were supplemented to adjust the intake of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium to a level similar to that in the all-hay ration. Paper impregnated with chromic oxide (Cr2O3) was given twice daily by rumen fistula.2. Amounts of crude ash and the five minerals entering and leaving the small intestine and excreted in the faeces were measured. The amounts passing through the re-entrant cannulas were adjusted to give 100% recovery of chromic oxide. The values were used to calculate the direction and net movements of the elements through the walls of the three main parts of the alimentary tract.3. In all instances there was an extensive net secretion of Na and P between mouth and small intestine, net absorption of K and P from the small intestine and of Na from the large intestine.4. The net movements of Ca and Mg were small and rather variable. In five of the six observations there was a small net secretion of Ca and small net absorption of Mg during passage of the digesta through the reticulo-rurnen, omasurn and abomasurn. Net secretion of Ca and Mg apparently occurred in the small intestine and net absorption of Mg in the large intestine.5. The only between-diet differences were small differences in net movements of Na and K.

Abstract
1. A high proportion of rabbits immunized with pooled rabbit heart homogenates in complete Freund's adjuvant responded with the production of multiple precipitating antibodies to soluble rabbit heart antigens. The most potent antisera revealed at least five distinct antigens. 2. Rabbit anti-rabbit heart antibodies reacted with similar antigens in other mammalian hearts, (human, rat, guinea pig, and bovine) with apparent "reactions of identity" by immunodiffusion. 3. Rabbits immunized with human, rat, or guinea pig heart homogenates also responded with multiple precipitating antibodies directed against rabbit cardiac antigens, although somewhat less intensively than animals immunized homologously. The specificities of these antibodies appeared to be the same as those evoked homologously. 4. The autoantibody nature of the homologously and heterologously induced responses was unequivocally demonstrated in several instances by reactions between the sera from immunized rabbits and their own hearts. 5. Many of the autoantibodies appeared to be directed against antigens restricted to the heart, judging by comparative immunodiffusion tests with other rabbit tissue extracts. This was convincingly confirmed by multiple absorption of potent antisera with several rabbit tissues. The cardiac-restricted antigens were also present in heart extracts of other mammalian species. In those instances where some of the cardiac-evoked autoantibodies reacted with other rabbit tissues, the tissue cross-reactions were quite variable. 6. Rabbits immunized with guinea pig heart homogenate suffered a high early mortality of undetermined cause, compared to animals immunized with rabbit, human, or rat hearts. 7. A small proportion of the anti-heart sera revealed immunodiffusion reactions with Group A streptococcal products, derived from organisms grown in antigen-free media. In these few instances, the reactions appeared unrelated to cardiac autoantibody responses.
