Abstract

Three generations of young were obtained on Evans and Bishop''s sterility diet, consisting of casein 18, corn-starch 54, lard 15, milk fat 9, salts 4, and 0.4-0.6 gm. yeast daily, by replacing the lard with an equal amount of hydrogenated cotton seed oil (Crisco). There was great difficulty in rearing the young. It is inferred from these observations that hydrogenation does not destroy the fertility factor, vitamin E, present in vegetable oils.
