1. Albino rats were systemically poisoned with 3.0 mgm./kgm. of HgCl2 I.P., and successfully treated with BAL as late as 30 minutes after the administration of Hg.
2. Studies were made of the effect of BAL on the toxic effects of three uranium compounds (UO2(NO3)2·6H2O, UO2F2 and UCl4) parenterally administered to albino rats with negative results.
3. The negative results were taken as confirmatory evidence for the view that uranium exerts its toxic effects primarily by some other means than a combination with SH groups.
