Results are reported from determinations of Sr/sup 90/ and (Cs/sup 137/ s in samples of grass and milk collected in Finland during 1959. Data are tabulated. Results show that the Sr/sup 90/ and Cs/sup 137/ contents of milk do not differ essentially from that of the milk of other countries with corresponding climatic conditions. The discriminating factor for grass and milk, or the ratio of - - Sr/sup 90//g calcium in milk divided by this ratio for grass, was shown to be about 0.008. The corresponding factor for Cs/sup 137/ was calculated as 0.28. (C.H.)
