Abstract

1. 1. Manometric assays of liver esterase activity in fifty-five species of birds disclosed homogeneous levels in four orders and heterogeneous levels in two, as well as different rates of hydrolysis of different substrates within species. 2. 2. Some correlations were detected between the size or diet of a species and the level of its hepatic esterase activity on phenyl acetate, triacetin and choline esters. 3. 3. Correlations were detected between the diet and the amount of hepatic esterase inhibition on triacetin by parathion, carbaryl and dichlorvos.
