Chromatography on silicic acid was employed for the separation of phospholipid components of normal human serum. These components were identified as cephalins, lecithin, sphingomyelin, and lysolecithin by paper chromatography, chemical analyses, and infrared spectra. The quantities of the phospholipid component were determined.
