Abstract
MULTIPLE haemoglobins and variation in electrophoretic mobility have been reported for many animals. The physiological significance of these discoveries is not completely understood. Some investigators have compared haemoglobin electrophoretic properties and phylogeny. Dunlap, Johnson and Farner1 analysed 21 species of birds and showed differences in haemoglobin apparently correlated with taxonomic kinship, and Marchlewska-Koj2 noted that amphibian haemoglobin heterogeneity may serve as complementary data for taxonomy. Comparable investigations of fish haemoglobins have been conducted by Hashimoto and Matsuura3,4, Smith5, and others, and of mammalian haemoglobins by Blumberg, Allison and Garry6, Foreman7, Ewy and Wojcik8, Buettner-Janusch9, Buettner-Janusch and Buettner-Janusch10 and others.
