Abstract
IN addition to the phenomena of agglutination and hæmolysis1 of red cells in saline extracts of the spontaneous tumours of C3H mice, there is a third phenomenon, perhaps related to the first two because it also is evidence of red cell injury, which is observed in AKR and C58 strains of mice (both are usually referred to as leukæmic strains, but the AKR strain is better classified as a variety of lymphoma). This third phenomenon is erythrophagocytosis in the enlarged spleens.
