SUMMARY.— Manganese levels in normal epidermis and dermis from 34 cadavers were estimated by neutron activation analysis. The mean concentration of manganese in the epidermis was 4 times higher than that in the dermis. An important biological role of manganese in skin is suggested by the remarkably narrow range of concentration of that trace metal in the analysed samples.
