◽
The body of Archidoris britannica contains very high concentrations of calcium and magnesium which appear to be combined mostly with CO3 and fluoride. The bulk of these materials are in solid deposits throughout the submucous tissue. Sodium chloride and potassium phosphate account for most of the residual mineral matter.The mucus secreted by the body has an inorganic composition resembling sea water.The visceral mass contains only one-tenth as much calcium and magnesium as the body. The predominating bases are potassium and sodium and the acid radicles are essentially chlorides and phosphates.
