Abstract
ANIMALS are known to excrete ammonia, urea, or uric acid as end-products of protein metabolism. So far as we can ascertain, the problem of nitrogenous excretion in arachnids needs more investigation. Since the work of Gorup-Besanez and Will1 in 1849, guanine was regarded as taking the place of uric acid as the main nitrogenous end-metabolite in arachnids. The method of synthesis of guanine in these animals is unknown2.
