Several dimethyl-1,2-dithiolanes are identified in the anal sac secretion of the weasel. We compare and contrast the results with previously published work.

The Naval Arctic Research Laboratory wolf colony at Barrow, Alaska, originated from 15 pups taken shortly after birth from dens near Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Controlled breeding has resulted in 17 litters. Minimum breeding age for both sexes is 22 months. Maximum observed but not established breeding age for a Barrow colony female is 7 years and for a male is 9 years. An Anchorage, Alaska, zoo female wolf had young at 9 years. Birth dates extend from 19 May to 7 June. Rivalries, especially among females, increase just before the breeding season. Original breeding stock have passed their predominantly dark coloration to offspring.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis strain UCD-PD3. The assembly contains 2,861,314 bp in 73 contigs. This strain was isolated from a feral domestic cat ( Felis catus ) anal sac secretion sample, as part of a project on isolating and characterizing the microbes present in feline anal sacs.

The chemical composition of the secretions from the anal sacs of three species from the genus Genetta has been analysed by means of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The main constituents of the secretion are free fatty acids, hydrocarbons, mono- and diester waxes, triglycerides, alkane diols, and free alcohols. Composition of the secretion in the three species is fundamentally similar, but there are some remarkable quantitative differences of the components m entioned. Some of the alkane-1,2-diols in these secretions have never been found before in nature.

The chemical composition of the secretion from the anal sacs of a female of Civettictis civetta is analysed using gas- liquid chromatographical and mass spectrometrical tech­niques. The secretion mainly consists of cholesterol esters, monoester waxes, cholesterol, and free fatty acids of chain lengths not under C12; highly volatile components were not traceable. The functional significance of the anal sac secretion is discussed. `

Analysis of the marking fluid of two tigers (one Bengal and one Sumatran) by GC using an amine-specific column and a nitrogen-specific detector has shown the presence of the following amines: ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, propylamine, and butane-1,4-diamine (putrescine). In contrast to previously published reports, we were unable to detect 2-phenylethylamine. The anal sac secretion was found to have a similar amine content.
