Abstract
IF erythrocytes labelled with iron-59 in their hæmoglobin are transfused from a donor rabbit to a sister animal, and, after a lapse of some hours, the labelled iron is located in the depot iron fraction, in the ferritin and hæmosiderin of organs, we can conclude that erythrocytes were broken down in these organs.
