Abstract

1. 1. The phenomenon of the red blood cells of the woodchuck ( Marmota monax) being resistant to lysis by the cyanmethemoglobin procedure for hemoglobin was observed during the pre-hibernation period. 2. 2. Electrophoresis was performed on the hemoglobin obtained from these cells in order to determine if a different type of hemoglobin was present during the hibernating period as compared to the non-hibernating period. There was no difference. 3. 3. Hemoglobin samples were also obtained from the little brown bat ( Myotis lucifigus) and the golden mantle ground squirrel ( Citellus lateralis) during the hibernating period and the non-hibernating period for comparative purposes. All samples were compared to human hemoglobin. 4. 4. There was no difference between the hibernating and non-hibernating pattern .
