1. The ranges, means, and sources of ten enzymes found in native saliva have been determined: acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, total esterases, cholinesterase, lipase, sulfatase, beta-glucuronidase, beta-D-galactosidase, lysozyme, and hyaluronidase.

2. The presence of six of these enzymes was established in parotid saliva: acid phosphatase, total esterases, cholinesterase, lipase, beta-glucuronidase, and lysozyme.

3. Broth cultures used for this study with whole saliva indicated that all but sulfatase and lysozyme were produced by the oral flora.
