Abstract As high elasticity is a property possessed only by substances of high molecular weight, it is of interest to enquire into the relation between the elastic properties of a highly elastic material such as rubber and its molecular weight. An investigation on these lines has been made possible through the work of Bloomfield and Farmer, who have succeeded in separating natural rubber into fractions having different average molecular weights. The more important physical properties of these fractions have been examined with the object of determining which of the properties are dependent on molecular weight and which are not. Fairly extensive observations were made on the fractions from latex rubber referred to as Nos. 2, 3 and 4 by Bloomfield and Farmer, and some less extensive observations were carried out on the less oxygenated portion of fraction No. 1 obtained from crepe rubber (called hereafter 1b) . Before considering these experimental results, and their relation to the molecular weights of the fractions, it will be necessary to refer briefly to the methods used for the molecular-weight determinations, and to discuss the significance of the figures obtained.

A number of important questions remain to be answered concerning our understanding of elastic tissues. The size and molecular weight of the elastin precursor remains to be clearly established. The number of proteins involved in the microfibrillar component of the elastic fiber are as yet undetermined, although it would appear that they are glycoproteins that may represent a species of reasonably high molecular weight. Clearly the elastic fiber contains two morphologic components. During morphogenesis, the elastic fiber begins to appear in the form of aggregates of microfibrils that take the shape and direction of the presumptive elastic fiber. With increasing maturity elastin begins to form within the interstices of each bundle of microfibrils. By the time the elastic fiber is fully formed it consists largely of the amorphous component, elastin, surrounded by an envelope of microfibrils with microfibrils embedded within its interstices. It has been suggested that the microfibrils form and take their shape extracellularly under the influence of the cells that have secreted their precursors. After the aggregates of microfibrils have taken their shape Ross and Bornstein (22) have suggested that the elastin may interact ionically with the surface of the microfibrils, since each of these two components has an opposite net charge, and may be held in position while desmosine cross-links are established through the action of the enzyme, lysyl oxidase. Thus the microfibrils would serve as a scaffolding to determine morphogenetically the shape and direction to be later taken by the mature elastic fiber. The reason for the elastic properties of the elastin is still yet poorly understood, and the means by which the cells synthesize and secrete both of these components remain to be investigated.
