Abstract
A STUDY of the absorption spectra of α- and β-hæmocyanin of Helix pomatia indicated that the copper bands of α-hæmocyanin, with their maxima at 346 and 580 mμ, are not quite reproducible1. As a continuous decrease of the copper-bands was liable to occur, the extinction of hæmocyanin preparations has been followed over several months.
