Abstract: IN a recent communication [Zilva, 1935] evidence was produced showing that when compounds of the ascorbic acid series, i.e.I-ascorbic acid, d-arabo-ascorbic acid, d-galacto-ascorbic acid, d-gluco-ascorbic acid, 1-gluco-ascorbic acid, were injected into guinea-pigs previously depleted of vitamin C, only the anti- scorbutically active members were " fixed " by their tissues.In addition there was an indication that a quantitative relationship existed between the degree of activity and the amount "fixed", since the tissues of the animals injected with
