               the molar ratio n:(x or y) is between about 200:1 and 1:200;           
                    and                                                               
               the molar ratio q:r is between 1:99 and 99:1;                          
          wherein said polymer is biocompatible before and upon                       
          biodegradation.                                                             

          147.  A polymer composition comprising:                                     
               (a) at least one biologically active substance, and                    
               (b) a polymer having the recurring monomeric units shown               
          in formula I or II:                                                         









          wherein:                                                                    
               X is -O- or -NR'-, where R' is H or alkyl;                             
                M1 and M2 are each independently (1) a branched or straight           
                    chain aliphatic group having from 1-20 carbon atoms; or           
                    (2) a branched or straight chain, oxy-, carboxy- or               
                    amino-aliphatic group having from 1-20 carbon atoms;              
                                         -2-
