2. A sample of spermaceti oil from the case in the head of the sperm whale was provided by Dr. G. R. Peppit, Cancer Research Institute, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ) and was examined by GC and direct-probe, chemical-ionization MS and found to contain 14% cetyl myristoleate or an isomer [identification by retention time and M+l (451) intensity only]. It should be noted that cis- 5-tetradecenoic acid, physteric acid, has been reported in a sperm whale head oil hydrolyzate.
