The .67 and 1.12 MEV 7 peaks observed in the whole samples were absent in the 7 curves on the cobalt separations, thus indirectly confirming the pres- ence of mn0d and Cst37 in the bonito muscle samples (Fig. 8). The vanadium separation did not exhibit detectable B or 7 activity. In contrast to the absence of the .81 MEV Co-% Y peak in the cobalt fraction from the 1954 bonito muscle samples, strong
