The view that much ofthe liquor amnii has a maternal source is substantiated by the results of numerousexperiments. Tuntz, after the injection of sulphindigotate into the veins ofpregnant rabbits, recognized the reagent in the liquor amnii by its blue coloring-matter, while there was no trace of it in the fetal kidneys. Experiments withother substances—e. g., iodin, salicylic acid, and potassium ferrocyanid—havebeen made.
