Abstract
THE amount of thiocyanate has been determined in the blood of volunteers from Šumperk in Moravia and Roudnice in Bohemia, two districts in Czechoslovakia where the incidence of endemic goitre is high. In Šumperk, the investigations were carried out in both spring and autumn, but in Roudnice in the autumn only. The Roudnice district has a greater production and consumption of fruit and vegetables.
