1. Melanosomes from skin and liver of Rana esculenta L. have been isolated and some chemical properties of the relevant melanin and protein components were compared. 2. In both cases the pigments show spectroscopic (ESR) and chemical characteristics similar to those of eumelanins. The melanin content in skin melanosomes is higher than in the liver counterparts. 3. Amino acid patterns of the two protein components are different in their quantitative composition and both are characterized by high levels of glycine and proline. 4. The results as a whole indicate that skin and liver melanosomes from the same animal markedly differ in their chemical composition.
