Details are given of a modification, suitable for routine determinations, of Palmer's method for the estimation of serum carotin. It can be carried out on 2 c.c. of serum and the results expressed with reasonable accuracy in terms of mg. carotin per 100 c.c. serum. It is concluded that, except in cases of marked xanthemia accompanying diabetes, the carotinoid pigmentation of the serum does not influence the icterus index to any appreciable extent.
