P.60 3rd paragraph: "Data from the study by Weitkamp et al. [primary source 115] are summarized in Table 2-10. In addition to the acids reported by Weitkamp et al. [primary source 115], Gershbein and Metcalf [primary source 116], by examination of the total fatty-acid content (following saponification) of human hair fat, found traces of C5 and C6 carboxylic acid and small quantities of C19 and C21 acids, as well as branched-chain isomers of many of the acids shown in Table 2-10 [primary source 116]." |
