Abstract
 
 
#1. The excretion rate in the toxaemias of pregnancy was in the vast majority of cases below that in a normal pregnancy. #2. The excretion rate during the later stages of a normal pregnancy was slower than in the non-gravid woman. #3. The average amount excreted in the toxaemias of pregnancy in three hours was 713 c.c.s. #4. The average amount excreted in a normal pregnancy (late stages) in 2.5 hours was 1030 c.c.s. #5. The average amount excreted in the non-gravid female in 2 hours-was 1077 c.c.s. #6. The maximum amount excreted in 3 hours in the cases of a toxaemia of pregnancy was 1280 c.c.s. and the minimum 198 c.c.s. #7. The curve of excretion in the toxaemias of pregnancy was much flatter than in the non-gravid woman. #8. In the cases of normal pregnancy and in the non-gravid female the maximum excretion was.between 60 and 75 minutes. In the cases of toxaemia of pregnancy it was between 45 and 60 minutes. #9. No rise of blood pressure accompanied the sudden intake of 1000 c.c.s of water. In most cases there was a fall often as much as 10 to 20 m.rn. Hg.. #10. Oedema of the legs alone was not associated with a fall in the excretion rate. #11. The higher the initial blood pressure the lower was the excretion rate. #12. No sign or symptom of increased intracranial pressure
