Abstract
Aninvestigation into the distribution of freely occurring polyhydric alcohols in normal bovine semen has revealed the presence of three previouslyunreported constituents, namelyD-mannitol (17 mg/100 ml), erythritol (6.9 mg/100) and glycerol (circa 2 mg/100 ml). These three polyols, together with inositol and sorbitol were characterized by the preparation of suitable derivatives. Where applicable, the physical constants of the crystalline materials and of their derivatives were determined.
