1. Autoradiography of frozen cells labelled with22Na has been used to locate a sequestered fraction of internal Na in the oocyte which exchanges very slowly or not at all with external Li.2. Relative grain density in nucleus and cytoplasm, measured photometrically, was used as an indication of22Na distribution within the oocyte. In test experiments grain density fell to 50% within 19 μm of the edge of the section. Owing to the large diameter of the oocyte (> 600 μm) and its nucleus (> 200 μm), this resolution was adequate to determine cytoplasmic/nuclear (C/N) ratios of grain density.3. In oocytes fully loaded with22Na, the mean C/N ratio was 0·92 ± 0·03 (n= 11). After 5 hr exchange in Li‐substituted Na‐free Ringer solution, the mean C/N ratio was 2·18 ± 0·04 (n= 11). After 5 hr exchange in Ringer solution as a control, the mean C/N ratio was 1·39 ± 0·18 (n= 7). The cytoplasm thus contained a fraction of22Na inexchangeable with Li, and more slowly exchangeable with Na than that in the nucleus.4. The non‐Li‐exchangeable fraction of internal Na thus revealed appeared to be quantitatively similar to that already demonstrated by studies of22Na fluxes and of internal Na activity by means of Na‐sensitive micro‐electrodes.
