Summary A study has been made of the identification of the fatty acids of the fat from a North American black bear. The methyl esters of the fatty acids from the fat were prepared and fractionated through a Stedman Column. Myristie, palmitic, stearic, oleic, palmitoleic, and linoleic acids were identified by the melting points of the p‐bromophenacyl ester of the saturated acids and the hydroxy and bromine addition compounds of the unsaturated acids.
