Abstract
PROSIMIAN Primates are a group of animals which share characteristics of behaviour, anatomy, biochemistry, cytogenetics, and physiology with the monkeys on one hand and the more primitive Insectivora on the other1. We have been examining the hæmoglobins of a number of these animals. One of our most interesting discoveries is the relatively high level of alkali-resistant hæmoglobin found in these animals.
