Bergmann and Feeney1 have isolated a new thymine pentoside from a sponge (Cryptotethia). Isolation and identification of the carbohydrate fragment of this nucleo-side have been unsuccessful; but the high dextrorotatory power of this nucleoside suggests that it is a xylofuranoside rather than the as yet unknown thymine nucleoside.
