Bucker's experiments in detail. Radioactive phospho-
rus was administered subcutaneously into rabbit, one
of whose eyes was shaded. Animal subsequently suffo-
cated and optical nerve was then examined. P32 con-
tent was same in both eyes. This shows that phospho-
rus exchange is unaffected by natural stimulation.
