Abstract
IN man and many other species, fœtal hæmoglobin differs from the hæmoglobin of the adult, the difference being in the globin moiety and not in the prosthetic group1. The hæmoglobin in the blood of the new-born is often a mixture of fœtal and adult types. Adult CBA mouse blood can be shown, by starch gel electrophoresis, to contain at least 3 hæmoglobins (Cohen, B., personal communication). No one has, apparently, studied the fœtal hæmoglobins of CBA or other strains of mice.
