INTRODUCTIOK

Extensive surveys of free amino acids of animal tissues by two-dimensional paper chromatography have shown that in a given species at a particular stage of development' each normal tissue, including every type of blood cell, has a distribution of free or loosely bound amino acids which is characteristic for that species (Roberts and Frankel, '49 ; Roberts, '54; Lowe, '54; Rouser, '57). These patterns of amino acids undergo changes during development but display a remarkable constancy in the normal, healthy adult organism. The purpose of the present communication is to describe the patterns of the easily extractable amino acids in the heart muscle of several species. A preliminary report of some of this work has been made (Roberts, et al., '55).
