The mammalian red cells pass through two evolutional changes during their ripening processes. The first one is the shift of cytoplasm from the basophilic to the acidophilic state, that means the progress of hemoglobin synthesis. The second one is the denucleation by which cells are flattened and facilitated in enhancing the efficiency of oxygenation of hemoglobin. In this report I will describe the analytical results on the hemoglobin synthesis in erythroid cells, especially relating to the morphologic and cytochemical evolution of the organellae.
