The presence of myo‐inositol in adult and fetal tissues has been confirmed by crystallization, and determination of the molecular weight, melting point, percentage composition and chromatographic purity of the crystals. A pattern of distribution of myo‐inositol among the tissues of a given animal was observed; cerebellar and cortical tissue having the highest concentration and liver and skeletal muscle, the lowest. This pattern was found to be comparable in both adult and fetal tissues with the exception of cardiac muscle. Several species differences in distribution were noted.
