Abstract
WE wish to report the finding of abnormal hæmoglobins in two species of monkeys. The monkeys had been shot in the Uganda Protectorate as part of another investigation and their blood has been subject to paper strip electrophoresis. At first lysed whole blood was used, but later larger specimens were collected and hæmoglobin solutions prepared. Hæmoglobins which behaved on electrophoresis like human AA hæmoglobin solutions were taken as the normal reference point.
