Muscle samples from abdomen ofHomarus vulgaris, abdomen and large chela ofAstacus fluviatilis, and legs and large chela ofMaio squinadoandEriocheir sinensiswere isolated, weighed and placed in boiling water for 5 min. to inactivate proteolytic enzymes, homogenized and treated with tungstic acid. Scrum samples were treated with tungstic acid and all the protein-free samples were hydrolysed by refluxing for 24 hr. with 6NHC1. Aspartic acid, arginine, glutamic acid, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine. phenylalanine, valine, tryosine. alanine, histidine, proline and threonine were estimated.The concentrations of amino-acids in the blood serum ofHomarus, EriocheirandAstacuswere, much less than those in muscle, and the calculated value for extracellular amino-acids inHomarusmuscle, 9.3 mg. per cent., was negligible in comparison with the total of extracellular and intracellular amino-acids, 3031.6 mg. per cent. Glycine, proline, arginine, and glutamic acid were the most abundant amino-acids in crustacean muscle and their molar concentrations appear sufficient to produce considerable osmotic pressure. The concentrations of intracellular amino-acids in muscles of marine species were higher than in fresh water species. The free acids mentioned are probably important substances for the regulation of osmotic pressure in crustacean muscle.-A. Iggo.
