Abstract
PREVIOUS attempts to determine the strontium content of biological materials by spectrochemical methods have not been entirely satisfactory, and in at least one investigation1 the method was abandoned in favour of neutron activation analysis. With recent improvements in the performance of flame spectrophotometers which have been described by various authors2 methods have been evolved for the assay of calcium and magnesium which claim a high accuracy.
