Abstract

1. 1. Free alkyl glyceryl ethers were shown to be present in the lens of elevent species of vertebrates, from fish to man, in widely varying concentrations. 2. 2. Only rabbit lens had, in addition, free alkenyl glyceryl ether. 3. 3. The ethanolamine and lyso ethanolamine phosphatides isolated from adult human lens were shown to consist largely of the alkyl analogs. 4. 4. Free ceramides were detectable only in the lens of cat and adult man. 5. 5. Age related changes in phosphatides and other lipids of human lens are described.
