Abstract
1) Freshly laid eggs contain about 0.000744 v.% alcohol.
2) The amount of alcohol in fertilized eggs increases slowly with days of incubation and reaches at 0.003054 vo on the 22th day.
3) The amount of alcohol in the living eggs at room temperature increases more slowly than in the incubator.
4) The amount of alcohol in killed eggs does not increase so regularly and markedly as in the living eggs even if they are placed in the incubator.
5) The normal blood of fowls contains 0.002794 v.% alcohol.
6) In the liver of fowls, the percentage of alcohol is 0.003952 v.%.
7) From the above results, it is to be concluded that the alcohol in the normal blood and tissues is a product of cell metabolism.
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Prof. Dr. K. Yamakami for much help and advice.
