The incidence of thrombosis fell with increasing dosage of these drugs, to a minimum of about 40 per cent when 20 to 40 mg./100 Gin, was given.

Einstein was INTO Savoie and College incuibated at 37 C. in open Erlenmeyer flasks with glycine 2C14 for 4 hours and the rate of glycine incorporation into heme and into globin was determined. The ratio between the rate of incorporation into heme and into glycine was found to be almost constant for all immature red cells although the biosynthetic activity of reticulocytes was much less than that of nucleated red cells. The addition of cobalt changed this constant ratio by inhibiting heme synthesis without changing the incorporation into glycine.
