In order to establish whether sulfomucopolysaccharide and sulfatase participate in the formation of the pearl and shell, the amount of crude sulfomucopolysaccharides in various organs of Pteria(Pinctada) martensii (DUNKER) and of Hyriopsis schlegelii (V. MARTENS) was measured by themethod of MEYER, and the chemical composition of them was investigated. The amounts of crudesulfomuco-polysaccharides were about 36 per cent in dried matter of mantle mucilage, 8.7 per cent in adductor muscle, and less than 3 per cent in other organs of Pteria (Pinctada) martensii(DUNKER), and 13.6 per cent in mantle, 12.5 per cent in viscera etc., and less than 1 per centin gill of Hyriopsis schlegelii (V. MARTENS), respectively. Crude sulfomucopolysaccharide of Pteria (Pinctada) martensii (DUNKER) contains nitrogen, hexosamine, reducing sugar, sulfateand calcium, while that of Hyriopsis schlegelii (V. MARTENS) contains reducing sugar, sulfate, calcium and traces of nitrogen and hexosamine. From the fact that plenty of sulfomucopolysaccharide was found specially in mucilage of the mantle, the secretory organ for the shell matter, it may be considered more probable than before that sulfornucopolysaccharide participates in theformation of the shell and the pearl.
