Abstract
IN a previous publication1 the finding of a new type of sheep hæmoglobin was reported. This has a slower rate of migration on starch gels than the A and B haemoglobins. It was first found in highly anæmic lambs where its relative amount of total hæmoglobin showed great variation. For these reasons it was called abnormal and tentatively given the symbol N. Blunt and Evans2 reported a new hæmoglobin in sheep with hæmoglobin A type and made anæmic by experimental bleedings. This new type was electrophoretically similar to hæmoglobin B.
