W. M. KELSEY M.D.1 and L. B. LEINBACH B.S.1

1 The Department of Pediatrics of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest College, Winston-Salem, N.C.

Values for total serum base in 96 normal children under 12 years of age as determined by the conductivity method fell between 143 to 160.5 mEq./l. The mean was 153. Standard deviations for each age group are given.

The values in 73 normal persons above the age of 12 varied from 142 to 160.5 mEq./l. The mean was 147 mEq./l. A statistically significant difference between the total serum base in children and adults was found.
