Abstract
ALTHOUGH iron plays an important part in the physiology of the living cell little is known about its localization in different parts of a cell or concerning its variation from tissue to tissue. Mammals have mainly been the object of investigations relating to the incorporation of labelled iron into the cells where the use of iron is known, such as the blood-forming cells, the liver cells, etc.1–5. We are not aware of the incorporation of labelled iron into the cells of other kinds of tissues and especially into the cells of invertebrates, except Amoeba6.
