Abstract
IT has been previously reported1,2 from this laboratory that in the blood of certain species of birds two electrophoretically distinct hæmoglobins can be detected, one of which has the same mobility as hæmoglobin E of the blood of thalassæmic patients with the genetic hæmoglobin E trait. This stimulated a systematic investigation of the blood of a larger number of bird species belonging to different natural orders, with regard to the electrophoretic behaviour of their hæmoglobin components.
