  15. Brain samples were prepared for analysis in our laboratory using a mixture of sea sand and sodium sulphate, fluorsil and silicagel columns, extracted in glass distilled hexane. The extracts were quantified in a Barber-Column Series 5000 gas chromatograph equipped with a tritium foil electron capture detector, 4 ft. glass column, 1∶1 mixture of 1.95% QF-1 and 1.7% OV-17 on Gas Chrom Q 100/120 mesh, injector temperature 212°C, column 190°C, detector 208°C, pre-purified nitrogen gas flow 200cc per min. Recovery from spiked samples for o,p′-DDT was 78%. We wish to acknowledge the assistance of J. W. Lehman in the pesticide residue analyses.
