The function of myoglobin at the cellular level was investigated by comparing O2 consumption in isolated myoglobin-rich cardiac myocytes from the sea raven (Hemitripterus americanus) and myoglobin-poor myocytes from the ocean pout (Macrozoarces americanus).

## T W O FIGURES That no two hemoglobins are quite the same was pointed out some years ago by Barcroft ('28). New evidence from many sources has confirmed his observations. Furthermore The authors wish to make acknowledgment of facilities made available f o r these studies by the U. S. Bureau of
The voluminous literature of the comparative aspects of oxygen-hemoglobin equilibrium has received several complete reviews (Redfield, '33 ; Florkin, '34 ; Prosser, '50). Krogh and Leitch ('19) reported that, in both fresh and salt water, species of fish which frequently encounter low oxygen tensio
