Methods have been developed for the collection of fluid from single glomeruli and tubules of the mammalian kidney (1). The amounts of fluid which can thus be collected, though small (from 0.03 to 0.70 c.mm.), were sufficient for quantitative analysis by ultramicro methods (2), and such analyses have been performed in a series of 92 experiments upon rats, guinea pigs and opossums. It was the design of the experiments to learn some of the changes which occur as fluid descends a tubule from the glomerulus toward the ureter and to establish the site of these changes, the same type of experimentation which has yielded considerable information in the amphibian kidney (3). In the present instance it has confirmed existing ideas of glomerular function, established the site of glucose reabsorption, and shed some light on the extent and type of fluid reabsorption which occurs in the proximal tubule. Methods of anal@. The analytical methods, excepting that for sodium, were devised in connection with the experiments upon amphibia and are fully described in the publications to which reference will be made. They were carried out in small glass capillary tubes. Changes in the original techniques and details pertinent to the present investigation are summarized in the following paragraphs.
