1. Perfusion of bovine adrenal glands with a potassium-free Tyrode solution results in an increased spontaneous release of catecholamines and an increased response to stimulation with carbamylcholine.

2. Perfusion with a Tyrode solution containing 70 mM-KCl causes a marked secretion of catecholamines and a subsequent inhibition of secretion in response to stimulation with carbamylcholine.

3. Perfusion with sodium-free media abolishes or severely reduces the secretory response of the gland to carbamylcholine and to 70 mM-KCl although the basal secretion shows an initial rise.

4. Perfusion with sodium-deficient media permits some retention of the secretory response.

5. A possible role for intracellular sodium ions in the secretion of catecholamines is discussed.
