%X The preparation of pig thyroglobulin labelled with 1311 is described and the results of the action of purified thyroid protease on different samples are presented. The major iodine-containing compounds liberated were found to be mono- and di-iodotyrosine, thyroxine, and tri-iodothyronine, together with a "peptide" fraction; of these mono-iodotyrosine, di-iodotyrosine, and the "peptide" predominated. Specific activities of these components were determined and compared with the values obtained following alkaline hydrolysis of the labelled protein.
