Thiocyanate space was determined in 108 normal subjects and blood volume in 50 of these. These values are presented with relationship to physical indices of growth. The decrease in SCN-space as per cent of body weight is shown to be primarily in the first year of life. The significance of this change is discussed with relation to total water and per cent of body fat.
