1 Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Department of Biology, The Rice Institute, Houston, Texas

A survey of thirteen species of free-living and symbiotic flatworms for beta-amino acids has been carried out. beta-alanine and beta-aminoisobutyric acid were found to occur most commonly as free amino acids in the symbiotic species in contact with the tissues of their host. These compounds were not detected as free amino acids in the two free-living species which were examined.
