Abstract
WHEN the red-cell hæm of familial hæmolytic anæmia patients is isotopically tagged, as by the administration of glycine-15N, the curves of subsequent isotope-levels may be interpreted in more than one way. Two very different interpretations are given here as subcases of a single model, and their relation to actual cases is discussed.
