This paper is dvided into 3 separate parts: I. The water and choline contents in the organs of rats kept on dets of different nutritional value. 15 rats were kept on a full laboratory diet consisting of oats, barley, cabbage, carrots, beetroots, bread, meat, yeast, and milk. Ten rats were kept on a full diet consisting of wheat biscuits to which 26% of a protein-vitamin complex had been added, and a further 16 rats were maintained on a deficient diet consisting of wheat biscuits alone. After 1 month the liver, lungs, kidneys, muscles, and skin were investigated. In animals kept on a full diet, the weight of the liver, and in animals kept on a deficient diet the weight of the kidneys, were significantly higher than in the other groups, but no significant changes in the water content could be observed. The choline contents, as estimated by the method of Acker and Ernst, were higher in the liver, lungs, and kidneys of animals on an
