1. Ascorbic acid was absorbed across the mucosa of the human mounth.

2. Omission of sodium ions from the medium decreased the absorption of ascorbic acid.

3. The presence of D-glucose, or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose, incrased the absorption of ascorbic acid but D-fructose had little effect and D-mannitol had no effect.

4. Calcium ions also increased ascorbic acid absorption probably by a secondary effect on Na+ fluxes.

5. Buccal mucosa was also premeable to dehydroascorbic acid and D-isoascorbic. acid
