ABSTRACT
The concentrating ability of the kidney in Perodicticus potto was investigated. As the relation between this capacity and the thickness of the medulla has been stressed by Schmidt-Nielsen & O'Dell, the size of the various layers in the kidney was measured. Based on our observation that the potto may excrete uric acid in fairly high concentrations, the partition of nitrogen in the urine was also explored.
