. The bovine blood group F, FV, and V phenotypic classes were found to differ greatly in amounts of red cell neuraminic acid, ghost material per ml packed red cells, phenol‐extracted mucoid per ml red cells, and pronase‐released mucoprotein per ml red cells. In all of these characteristics, F values were highest, FV intermediate, and V lowest. Phaseolus vulgaris nonagglutinators also had higher values for red cell neuraminic acid, ghost quantity per ml red cells, and phenol‐extracted mucoid quantity per ml red cells than agglutinators. At least three, and possibly four, groups of animals with respect to neuraminic acid values were observed. Phenol‐extracted mucoids from red cells of different FV phenotypes were nearly identical in carbohydrate composition, although mucoids from F cells may contain more glucose than those from FV or V. The F antigen was seen to be associated with a higher red cell N‐acetyl neuraminic acid/total neuraminic acid ratio than the V antigen.
