Enamel and dentin from incisor and molar teeth of adult male and female Syrian hamsters were analyzed spectrochemically for 34 elements, of which 17 were found consistently in enamel and 16 were found consistently in dentin. Several other elements were found occasionally in the tissues. Calcium and phosphorus were the major constituents, while manganese, sodium, and iron were the only other elements that were above 0.1 per cent. Composition differences were noted for chromium, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, and silver.
