Hemoglobins from a newborn baboon, Papio cynocephalus , and from a 15‐day‐old baboon of the same species were examined for electrophoretic properties of polypeptide chains and were tested for alkali resistance. Hemoglobin of newborn P. cynocephalus appears to be analogous to human fetal hemoglobin. Hemoglobin of newborn P. cynocephalus is composed of α‐like and γ‐like chains and hemoglobin of adult P. cynocephalus is composed of α‐like and β‐like chains.
