B. CAROTENOIDS IN ANIMALS 



I. INVERTEBRATES 



Many investigations, some of which are now out of date, deal with the 

 distribution of carotenoids in invertebrates. More recent studies in this field 

 have shown that carotenoids are present in a variety of invertebrates, though 

 it is not known with certainty whether the pigments are synthesized by the
