Abstract

1. 1. Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curves of four different species of porpoises and one sea lion species have been made. 2. 2. Porpoises which swim faster and dive longer and deeper have greater hemoglobin oxygen affinity than the slower-swimming, shallower and shorter-diving species. 3. 3. The similarity and relationship of the dissociation curves in these sea mammals to those observed in some terrestrial species living under hypoxic conditions are emphasized. 4. 4. Electrophoretic patterns of the hemoglobins are shown.
