SUMMARY Radio‐isotope disappearance curves and autoradiography (labelled DNA precursors and labelled amino acids) have been used to estimate the minimum transit times for four regions of epidermis in mice. The post‐mitotic maturation time in the basal layer has been estimated and the results interpreted in relation to proliferation rates and epidermal organisation.
