Received May 27, 1983. Accepted July 15, 1983.

The sequence of three tRNAs from Halobacterium cutirubrum have been determined. The sequences of tRNAGACVal and tRNAGACVal differ by only one nucleotide which is in the 5' terminal anticodon position. These tRNAs as well as that of tRNACGCAla are compared to other known halobacterial tRNAs. An observed paucity (or absence) of U in the first anticodon position is unique to archaebacterial tRNAs and may be indicative of unusual decoding properties of these organisms.
