Abstract
Monk-livers often contain irregular deposits of a red fat-soluble pigment, hitherto not found in fish-livers. The pigment appears to act as a chromogen towards SbCl3, but quite small quantities of vitamin A are so intensely chromogenic as to obscure the role of the pigment. Such evidence as is available points to the pigment being carotenoid in type.
