Abstract
1. 1. The concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipids in erythrocytes from seven species of reptiles and two species of amphibians were compared with the lipid composition of human and mouse erythrocytes. 2. 2. The phospholipid composition of reptile and amphibian erythrocytes were all remarkably similar whereas large differences occur between mammalian species. 3. 3. Erythrocyte cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was much lower for reptiles and amphibians than for mammals.
