S ummary . The uptake of 59 Fe by rabbit placenta at different stages of gestation was determined, and subsequently the uptake of 59 Fe by the subcellular fractions of the rabbit placenta during the last third of gestation was measured. The iron‐containing compounds in the non‐particulate fraction of the rabbit placenta during the last third of gestation were isolated and characterized.
