1. Unidirectional Na+, K+, and Cl- fluxes were measured across the isolated hindgut of larval Sarcophaga bullata. 2. Both K+ and Cl- are actively secreted into the hindgut lumen, whereas Na+ is distributed passively. 3. The movements of K+ and Cl- are not entirely independent of each other, and the movement of one ion influences the flux of the co-ion. 4. The NH4+ ion is secreted into the hindgut by a mechanism separate from K+ secretion.
