Abstract
1. 1. Lizards injected with NaCl secreted more Na + than K + via the nasal gland. Subsequent KCl loading led to predominance of K + in the nasal secretion. 2. 2. Aldosterone and dexamethasone abolished the ability of the gland to secrete Na +, corticosterone and ACTH reduced this ability, and cortisol had only slight effect. 3. 3. None of these hormones or dexamethasone initiated salt gland activity or appreciably altered potassium secretion. 4. 4. K acetate, K 2 succinate and KHCO 3 stimulated secretion of salts containing HCO 3 − or CO 3 2− , whereas Cl − was the only anion present following loading with Cl − salts. 5. 5. RbCl also stimulated secretion whereas sucrose and mannitol did not.
