Abstract
1. 1. The one-half saturation values of the oxygen dissociation curve of whole blood determined on eight species of pocket mice, genus Perognathus, generally fall within the expected range based on animal weight. The bloods of P. parvus and P. amplus have a greater affinity and P. formosus and P. fallax have a lesser affinity for oxygen than predicted. 2. 2. There appears to be no direct correlation between high blood-oxygen affinity and ability to rewarm from induced deep hypothermia. 3. 3. Variation of hemoglobin-oxygen affinity within the species is as great as the variation in interspecific comparisons.
