The aerobic microflora of the scalp, predominantly cocci, wa virtually eliminated by the daily application of 1 o/o aqueous neomycin for one month. This was done to test whether these organisms are an important source of the lipases which liberate fatt:y acid from the sebaceous triglycerides. This treatment had no effect on the proportion of fre fatty acids in the urface lipids as determined by thin layer chromatography . The follicle-residing anaerobic C. acnes, was not attacked by neomycin
