Summary Thymus lymphocytes labelled with radio‐active phosphorus were injected intravenously from guinea‐pig to guinea‐pig. The recipient animals were killed after 48 hours and autoradiographs prepared from spleen, liver, hepatic and mesenteric lymph nodes and from bone marrow. The labelled cells were traced to the perifollicular regions of the spleen and non‐follicular regions of the hepatic lymph node.
