tocopherols occur naturally in part as the esters. However, upon saponification of the undistillable residue, we have been able to recover only a small percentage of the chromogen in the unsaponifiable fraction. Its true nature must await further experimentation.

We know very little concerning the nature of this residual chromogen. The color produced with nitric acid was not a pure but it Was not to exclude the presence of tocopherol in some quantity. It is possible that the color was due to tocopherol esters, and that they were sufficiently nonvolatile to resist distillation under the conditions used. Olcott (6) also expressed the view that
