It was remarked by Rauch [4] that the differential equation for Jacobi fields in a symmetric space has constant coefficients with respect to suitable moving frames along a geodesic. Using a slightly different method, we give here an explicit form of a Jacobi field in a coordinate free form. We also give, in the Lemma in S 1, a relationship between the differential of the exponential map and Jacobi fields. This provides an alternate proof of the well known formula (Helgason [1], Chap. IV, Theorem 4.1) on the differential of the exponential map in a symmetric space. S 1. Let $M$ be a manifold with a torsion-free affine connection $
abla$ , and consider exp $=exp.:T.M
ightarrow M,$ $xeM$, and let $dexp_{X}:T_{x}M
ightarrow T_{exp X}M$,
