1. The triglyceride, cholesterol ester and total phospholipid fractions were isolated from the livers and yolk sacs of normal and vitamin B(12)-deficient chick embryos after 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 days of incubation, and the fatty acid compositions were determined. 2. At all stages of incubation, the concentration of cholesterol ester in the livers of the normal embryos were greater, and on days 15 and 17 the concentrations of triglyceride were considerably less, than the corresponding concentrations in the livers of the deficient embryos. 3. Between day 13 and day 21 of incubation the concentration of oleic acid in the liver triglycerides of the normal embryos increased, whereas the concentrations of palmitic acid and docosahexaenoic acid decreased. Vitamin B(12) deficiency resulted in higher concentrations of palmitic acid in the liver triglycerides on days 15, 17 and 19, higher concentrations of C(18) polyunsaturated acids on days 13 and 15 and lower concentrations of oleic acid on days 13, 15, 17 and 19. 4. At all stages of development, cholesterol oleate accounted for almost 80% of the total liver cholesterol esters in both normal and deficient embryos. 5. As development of the normal embryos progressed, the concentrations of palmitic acid and arachidonic acid in the liver phospholipid decreased, whereas the concentrations of stearic acid and docosahexaenoic acid increased. Vitamin B(12) deficiency resulted in markedly higher concentrations of stearic acid and palmitic acid and markedly lower concentrations of arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in the liver phospholipids. 6. Vitamin B(12) deficiency did not influence the fatty acid composition of the triglyceride, cholesterol ester and phospholipid fractions either in the yolks of fertile unincubated eggs or in the yolks obtained from eggs that had been incubated for 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 days.
