Abstract
1. 1. The isolation of sulfatides and cerebrosides from brain tissues of fourteen animal species (vertebrates and invertebrates) was performed using column chromatography. 2. 2. On comparing the character of glycolipids by paper chromatography no differences were found in vertebrates except frog and fish cerebroside fractions, where a further unknown component was observed. In brain tissue of invertebrates, both the above-mentioned lipids were also detected. 3. 3. The quantity of glycolipids decreased towards the lower vertebrates. 4. 4. In contrast to other animals, the fatty acids in frog and fish brains were characterized by CP 18 and C 16 acids. Some differences related to long-chain base composition of sphingolipids in invertebrates were also observed.
