Abstract
PREVIOUSLY I have shown1 that the red blood cells of certain animals, for example, guinea pigs, have a high sensitivity to light in contrast to others, for example, man, so that, with the same conditions of light intensity, 98 per cent of guinea pig erythrocytes and only 12 per cent of human erythrocytes are hæmolysed. The light which is responsible for this action is almost exclusively in the visible region.
