Our views on the distribution of the nucleic acids have undergone profound changes since Jones (1920) stated that "there are but two nucleic acids in nature, one obtainable from the nuclei of animal cells and the other from the nuclei of plant cells." During the last 25 years evidence has gradually accumulated to show that such a distinction be-tween the two main types of nucleic acid is not valid and that both types of nucleic acid occur both in plant cells and in animal cells. This subject has already been reviewed (Davidson and Waymouth, 1944e). Evidence that compounds containing pentose sugars are present in animal tissues has been avail-able since the beginning of the century. Such
