The concentrations, and where possible, activities of the main inorganic ions were measured in haemolymph, palliai fluid, and mucus of Lymnaea stagnalis appressa Say (Gastropoda: Pulmonata), and in the artificial pond water (APW) in which the snails were stored. Activity coefficients of Na, K, Ca, and Cl in pallial fluid and in APW were compared with values calculated from Debye–Hückel theory. Some Na and Ca in pallial fluid, and Ca in APW are probably bound in organic or inorganic complexes. Comparison of the Nernst potentials with the transepithelial potential difference supports the idea that Na, K, Ca, and Cl must be actively taken up from APW by the snail. Pallial fluid is not identical to haemolymph and is probably a mixture of urine and haemolymph. Pallial fluid contaminates mucus during mucus collection. A method of correcting for this contamination is given. After correction, mucus had higher Ca and K, and possibly higher Mg concentrations than did haemolymph. Mucus had a high concentration of NH4+. Possible sources of ions in mucus are discussed. Mucus secretion rates are low enough that this is not an important cause of ion loss to the snail. Using ether to stimulate mucus secretion alters the water and K content of the mucus.

The acidity functions H0 and J0(HR) have been measured for the whole range of the formic acid – water system. The large negative J0 values for the more concentrated solutions fail to correlate with the functions derived by Gold on the basis of certain assumptions regarding the activity coefficients of the species involved. The cause of this deviation is discussed. The term log [R+]/[ROH] for the ionization of triphenylcarbinols in formic acid has been found to vary linearly with 1/T.
