Abstract
The presence of vit. A in the liver of an Antarctic cephalopod was confirmed, and the presence of provit. D, astacin (or astaxanthin) was detected. Vit. A isolated chromatographically from raw sperm-whale liver was compared with the Morton standards of 1948 and 1951. The anhydrovitamin A fraction of raw sperm liver was found to contain a carotenoid, probably carotene. A substance of unknown nature present in the "oxidized material" fraction was detected and partially purified.Keywords
