Petroselinic and ricinoleic acids and a number of their derivatives, together with stearic acid and two oleic acid derivatives which were in‐cluded for the purpose of comparison, have been screened for antimycotic activity against 22 pathogenic yeasts and molds. A number of the compounds exhibited a wide spectrum of activity, testing either fair or good against all or most of the yeasts and molds, and almost all were fairly active against at least one of the organisms.
