- 1. Mink kits and adults fed highly purified rations supplemented with all the known crystalline vitamins require additional unidentified factors for normal nutrition. The characteristic deficiency symptoms are described.
- 2. Preliminary evidence from the fractionation of the unidentified factors in fresh raw liver indicates that methanol extraction removes 1 factor(s) and that the insoluble residue contains another factor(s).
