the three components of skeletal muscle fiber, that is, sarcolemma, myofibrid and sarcoplasma, different among themselves in their viscoelastic properties, have been separately studied. A myofibril bundle with properties of living muscle fiber can be separated by removing the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber in liquid paraffine, the smallest sample obtained by this method being about 1μ in diameter. Myofilaments as thin as 100 A^^o in diameter can be spreading out the myofibril bundle on metal net in air. The breaking length of a muscle fiber is 180-200% of its resting length, its breaking stress being 0.5〜5×10^6 dynes/cm^2. The ratio of initial elongation to creep by load is a function of the load itself, for example, the maximum of the ratio is 3 to 2, the load and the breaking stress being 1.5×10^5 and 5×10^5 dynes/cm^2 respectively. The thermal expansion coefficient (α) of a muscle fiber of M. sartorius of Bufo is -10^<-4>〜-10^<-5>, its absolute value being inversely proportional to its birefringence. The length-tension diagram of a myofibril bundle coincides with that of intact muscle fiber, as far as the extension is less than 140% of its resting length. Concerning the time course of creep by loading and the thermo-elasticity, the myofibril bundle and the single muscle fiber resemble each other. The striated pattern with periodical intervals of about 100 A^^o can be electronmicroscopically observed in the separated myofilament in its resting state. This periodical intervals increase to 170% of that in its resting state, when the myofilament is extended. the viscoelasticity of muscle has been discussed on the basis of the results mentioned above and the relevant references.
