Abstract
1. 1. Malarial and schistosomal pigment were compared spectrophotometrically in water and in sodium hydroxide solution and were found to be very similar. 2. 2. Exclusion chromatography showed that part of both pigments has a molecular weight considerably greater than that of trypsin (mol. wt. 24,000). 3. 3. Analytical centrifugation indicated that pigment has a molecular weight at least as high as that of haemoglobin. 4. 4. It is suggested that schistosomal and malarial pigment are identical and are not simple degradation products of haemoglobin.
