Extract

1. The different lipid fractions in Gastrothylax crumenifer after starvation for 8–10 hr. have been estimated.

2. The percentages of different fractions in the total ether extract were found to be: acetone-insoluble material 16, unsaponifiable matter 25, saturated fatty acids 5, unsaturated fatty acids 20, glycerol 2 and unidentified lipids 32.

3. The above percentages of lipid fractions have been compared with the corresponding data for different parasites obtained by other workers.
