1. Absorption of purines and their metabolism by the lower intestine were estimated by using the everted gut sacs from the colo-rectum and caecum of the chicken. 2. Adenine, hypoxanthine and uric acid were appreciably absorbed from the colo-rectum and caecum, and an especially high rate was observed in the absorption of uric acid from the colo-rectum. 3. Guanine was not absorbed unchanged from either the colo-rectum or the caecum and a small amount of xanthine was absorbed only from the caecum. 4. Hypoxanthine was also absorbed in uric acid form, to a much lesser extent, in xanthine form from the colo-rectum and caecum, adenine and xanthine in uric acid form from the colo-rectum and adenine in hypoxanthine form from the colo-rectum and caecum. 5. Adenine was metabolized to hypoxanthine and xanthine, guanine and hypoxanthine to uric acid and xanthine, and xanthine to adenine, in both mucosal fluids of the colo-rectum and caecum. The conversion of guanine to uric acid in the caecum was most active, being almost twice as much as that in the colo-rectum.
