Abstract
The digestive tract of the snail has been isolated and a soluble extract prepared from it and its contents. A quantitative analysis of the proteinases, lipases and twenty different carbohydrase activities present in this extract has been made. Snail galactan was not degraded by the enzymic preparation. The use of the preparation for cytological studies has been discussed.Keywords
