Abstract
The sponges Suberites vestigium and Chrotella australiensis have been examined for steroids. Both the sponges contain C27-29 mono and diunsa turated sterols, in addition sponge C. australiensis contains cholest- 4-ene-3-one and 24-ethyl cholest-4-ene-3-one. Batyl alcohol and its hi gher homologue have also been identified in S. vestigium. This is firs t report of steroids from these sponges.
