Samples of some minerals, rocks and liquid inclusions from rocks have been analysed for water and deuterium content of the water. Samples from Hawaii and Japan were selected with the prime objective of securing juvenile water. It is found that the water of these samples contains less deuterium than the average surface water of the earth, and it is concluded that juvenile water does not contain as much deuterium as the oceans. Possible explanations for the discrepancy are offered. (1) Protium equivalent to about 4 per cent of the oceans has escaped from the earth with a negligible loss of deuterium. (2) The earth at its formation acquired surface water of high deuterium content and deeply buried water of low deuterium content. It is pointed out that certain carbonaceous chondrites contain the highest concentrations of deuterium ever found in Nature, while others of this group contain water of about average terrestrial composition. Other samples of water have been analysed and are reported even though the results do not contribute to the main problem. The results do not differ in any important way from others reported in the literature.
