Electrophoresis of haemoglobin in single erythrocytes of Labeo umbratus and Labeo capensis showed that haemoglobin behaved in three distinct ways in both species. The majority of cells contained haemoglobin which moved as a broad band towards the anode. In a few cells haemoglobin moved towards both the anode and the cathode and in even fewer cells, haemoglobin moved as a sharp band to either the cathode or anode. These results are discussed in relation to other observations.
