Red cell destruction in the spleen may to some extent depend on a possibly increased H + ‐ion activity relating to packed red blood cells in the spleen. A number of blood samples from the spleen and inferior vena cava in rats were examined with a method for determination of H + ‐ion activity relating to packed erythrocytes devised by the author. The H + ‐ion activity was invariably greater in the blood samples from the spleen. Blood samples from the spleen were obtained with a technique avoiding profuse bleeding. Haemolysis in the spleen on the basis of increased H + ‐ion cone, are discussed.
