Summary. After a short review of the literature on the subject a report is given of the results obtained in a systematic investigation of the serum‐iron level under different physiological and pathological conditions, chiefly anaemias. Alimentary anaemia is characterized as sideropenic. The occurrence of juvenile anaemia with the typical clinical picture of essential hypochromic anaemia in adults is described. The preliminary results of serum‐iron determinations in other different conditions are given.
