Anterior and posterior blastomeres were separated in the four-cell stage of Ciona intestinalis and cytochrome oxidase activities of homogenates of the blastomeres were quantitatively determined by a microspectrophotometric method. The average cytochrome oxidase activity of homogenates of posterior blastomeres is 2.7 times that of anterior blastomeres. The results indicate a localization of mitochondria in the posterior blastomeres.
