A method of heart puncture for the drawing of blood in the Syrian hamster is described. In the use of this procedure a very low mortality rate has been obtained. The actual time expended per animal, including weighing and anesthesia, is not more than 3 or 4 minutes. Hamster blood, previously reported as clotting very rapidly,6 is handled without such difficulty. Blood sugar values are given for young and adult animals on synthetic high sucrose, and on natural maintenance diets.
