1. A study was made, by means of paper electrophoresis, of the relationship between the distribution of proteins, acid mucopolysaccharides and PAS-positive materials in extrapallial fluid, and the calcium carbonate crystals of shells. Fifteen molluscan species were used. 2. The extrapallial fluid of the species with aragonite-shell and aragonite- and calcite-shell contains a much more complex system of proteins, acid mucopolysaccharides and PAS-positive materials than that of the species with calcite-shell. 3. In all the species examined, hyaluronate-like substances and PAS-positive materials, possibly neutral heteropolysaccharides, were commonly found in the extrapallial fluid. This fact suggests that these two kinds of substances are components essential to the formation of the organic matrix of shell, in association with proteins. In some species, sulfated mucopolysaccharides were also detected.
