Summary A method has been described for separating the constituents of candelilla wax into three fractions, viz., paraffins, acids, and alcohols. To the list of acids and alcohols reported by others as constituents of this wax may now be added the C 28 individuals. The presence of the C 30 , C 32 , and C 34 homologues of both compounds has been confirmed. All are of the n ‐type. Not confirmed however was the alleged presence of a lactone.
