Abstract
THE fœtal fluids of a number of species have been examined recently for the presence of free fructose1. This study has now been extended to the examination of the fœtal fluids of three species of deer. The fluids were obtained after pregnant does had been shot. Protein-free filtrates of the fluids were prepared by the barium–zinc method of Somogyi2. Total reducing substances were determined by the method of Nelson3, and fructose by a modification of the Seliwanoff method due to Cole (as described by Bacon and Bell4).
