1. The concentrations of 136 urine samples from four species of small mammals were compared using osmometry, refractometry and a colorimetric test for urea concentration. 2. To obtain a wide range of concentrations (430-3950 mOsm/kg), urine samples were collected under normal and dehydration conditions. 3. Regression analyses of paired values indicate that measurements of total solids concentration (refractometric method) permit evaluations of urine osmolality and estimations of the concentration of urea with a high degree of confidence.
