SUMMARY The means and standard deviations of the red blood cell indices of healthy Australian adults have been found to be as follows : Mean corpuscular volume (cubic micra) : 89·1±2·9 for males, 87·9±6·4 for females. Mean corpuscular hmoglobin (micromicrogrammes per cell) : 33·2±1·1 for males, 32·4±2·0 for females. Mean corpuscular hmoglobin concentration (grammes of hmoglobin per roo millilitres of packed cells) : 37·4±1·4 for males, 37·1±1·9 for females. The estimated mean red cell counts per cubic millimetre corresponding to the hmoglobin values of the main survey of Walsh et alii (1953) are 4·73 million for males and 4·29 million for females, using the above figures for mean corpuscular hmoglobin.
