SUMMARY The albumin of liver lymph may derive entirely from the plasma or newly metabolized protein may be added directly to lymph by the liver cells. Following the injection of T‐1824 and 131I‐albumin the disappearance of label from plasma and its appearance in liver lymph was studied. When specific activity curves were compared with similar curves for liver following injection of 131I‐γ‐globulin, and for leg following 131I‐albumin it was apparent that only minor amounts, if any, of new protein could be reaching the liver lymph directly from the synthesizing cells.
