Abstract
An acid mucopolysaccharide preparation from the tail fins and back skin of Rana catesbeiana tadpoles has been isolated and fractionated. In both of these tissues at least 96% of the mucopolysaccharide preparation was found to be hyaluronic acid. The remaining 4% has not been fully characterized, but does not appear to be chondroitin sulfate B.
