A complete lipid assay of the egg contents from the New Zealand kiwi (Apteryx australis mantelli) was carried out and compared with that of the domestic hen. The proportion of lipid to protein in the kiwi egg (1 : 0.5) is nearly twice as great as in the eggs of the domestic hen (1 :0.9). Hen's egg l

The seed oil of Peschiera australis (Apocynaceae) was analyzed for its fatty acid composition by gaschromatography-mass spectrometry. Oleic acid was the main fatty acid (75%) beside other usual compounds. The UV, IR and NMR spectroscopic data of the oil pointed to the presence of the alkaloides tab
The normal fatty acid contents of omental fat were investigated in cats and guinea pigs. Sex appears to have no effect on the distribution of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids; the latter are always in higher proportion than the former, although guinea pigs show greater variations in this propor
