The fatty acid compositions of 106 milk samples taken during the period of June, 1960, to June, 1961, are given as biweekly averages. Analyses were made by gas-liquid chromatography. Seasonal trends were noticeable, with 18:0 and 18:1 higher in the summer than in other seasons~ This trend was reversed with 12:0, 14:0, and 16:0. Average values (per cent of total lipids) for the major acids were : 4:0--3.75, 6:0---'2.22, 8:0--1.17, 10:0--2.54, 12:0--2.81, 14:0--10.06, 16:0--24.97, 18:0--12.07, 18:1--27.09, 18:2--2.39, and 18.3--2.06. Values are given for 11 additional acids.
