Abstract
The cerebroside, free cholesterol, total cholesterol, total phospholipid, lecithin, sphingomyelin and cephalin concns. in peripheral nerves from the rabbit, cat, dog, beaver and man were detd. The distribution of the "essential lipids" (cerebrosides, total cholesterol and total phospholipid) and of the individual phospholipids more closely resembles the distribution in the white matter of the brain than that in either the gray matter or whole brain. In peripheral nerve, however, there was relatively more sphingomyelin and less cephalin and cerebroside than in brain white matter.
