Since many of the marine invertebrates are free from myoglobin and hemoglobin pigments which would interfere with direct spectral measurements of intact cytochromes, they offer great advantages in studying distribution of cytochromes. The cytochromes of some marine invertebrates correspond spectrall

โฆ Synopsis
Generalizations on the cytochrome pattern in the terminal electron transport chain of mitochondria are based primarily on spectral (Chance and Williams, '56) and chemical isolation (Green, '59) studies of heart and liver mitochondria of higher mammals. These studies lead to the formulation of an electron transport chain of the type shown below :
Since the concentrations of cytochromes as, a, b, c and c1 are similar and a chain of this type is compatible with kinetic data, it is the simplest formulation. However, chemical studies suggest that the arrangement of the electron transport chain may be more complex. Spectral studies of the cytochromes in amphibian cardiac muscle (Ramirez, '59) show that the rela-

The study of marine lipids is an important field of the lipid chemistry. However, the major part of information concerns the depot lipids of fish. 1) Although studies on the comparative aspects of phospholipid distribution of various marine animals have been carried out, z-4) data on the phospholipi
