Abstract
OWING to its inaccessibilty and the relatively small amount present in the body, bone marrow until recently has received less attention from the biochemist than is warranted by its great biological significance, which has been established on the basis of hæmatological studies. The object of this investigation was to accumulate facts concerning certain important cell constituents of bone marrow in the hope that this would contribute towards a better understanding of bone marrow metabolism, and that the information gained would open up a possibility of a quantitative assessment of bone marrow activity under normal and pathological conditions.
