Summary

Comparative analysis of functional antlers and bones of the legs in young fallow-deer shows in general the same chemical structure. The amount of N, P, and Ca in the velvet was determined. To confirm the growth in the points of the antlers 2 young stags with growing and functional antlers respectively got injections of radioactive P. The radiograms of the growing antlers cut in thin slices show very clearly an intensive activity at the pointed ends whereas in the functional antler only little activity is seen below the base. The Ca of the blood remains relatively constant.
