* Betat activity for zn©5 ts 2.5 per cent of the total

‘SCelf-absorption corrections for beta
radioactivity.
activity in cobalt were made by using standards and

spikes in 5 per cent citrate dried on 14-inch plates

end counted itn the methane gas-flow Nucleometer

(Lowman et al., 1957).

**unidentifiec radioactivity was estimated

y subtracting

tng calculated beta activity in Zn©5, Co5!, Co

and

Co60 from the beta activity (314 a/m/g wet weight)
counted in the methane gas-flow counter.
