1. The intracellular pH and the extracellular fluid volume of the shell gland mucosa were determined. 2. The pH value varied little during egg formation, the overall mean being 7.11 +/- 0.02 (n = 34). 3. The lowest pH, 7.01, was found 10 h after oviposition and the highest, 7.22, 18 h after oviposition.
