1. Saliva flowed from the @entity1641 's parotid duct only during mastication.2. The surface-active local anaesthetic administered by mouth inhibited salivary secretion.3. Salivary secretion was stimulated by @entity2134 and inhibited by @entity3897 .4. The volume and composition of saliva secreted in 24 hr from one parotid duct was determined.5. The concentration of @entity1372 , @entity972 , @entity460 , @entity2865 and @entity3157 depended upon the rate of flow. The highest concentrations of these electrolytes were observed during periods of high flow rates.6. @entity1641 parotid saliva contained a high concentration of @entity460 .7. In the absence of a dietary supplement of @entity4388 , the @entity1372 concentration of the saliva fell after about 21 days. There was an associated increase in the @entity972 concentration. The addition of a @entity1372 supplement restored the @entity1372 concentration of the saliva within 24 hr.
