1. Plasma specific activities were measured at various times after the intravenous injection of calcium‐47 in four different age groups of rats. 2. The data may be represented as two power functions. The change in power function occurs at a set time which is significantly different in three of the age groups. 3. Various bones, muscle and skin all show different uptakes of the calcium‐47 and the change in the power function of the plasma data probably represents an equilibrium of the soft tissue calcium.
