Summary 1. The general secretory level, after a series of insulin hypoglycemic treatments, dropped considerably below the secretory level during the trial period, with the exception of the one case previously described. In the latter case a rise of secretory rate associated with regression in psychiatric condition was found. 2. The secretory level during the hypoglycemic state showed a sharp rise with the onset of stupor and coma. However, sleep, which often occurs soon after insulin administration, has the opposite effect, namely, a drop in secretory level. 3. As the secretory rate increased, a drop in the potassium and chloride concentrations occurred, this drop tending to reach a plateau beyond which further increases in rate resulting from the hypoglycemic state produce little effect. 4. The increase in rate occurring during insulin hypoglycemia was accompanied by a pronounced increase in cloudiness of the cretion together with a rise in its protein content. These were first manifested at the onset of stupor and became more pronounced during coma.
