According to Wikipedia, it is not...Phosphatidyl ethanolamine is, but phosphatidyl serine isn't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalin

I'd check out a biochemistry text just to be sure...

Hi Manasa. According to Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews - Biochemistry, 3rd edition, 2005, p. 200, only Phosphotidylethanolamine is a cephalin.
