1. Plasma iron in the laying hen has been separated into two components by adsorption on magnesium carbonate, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. 2. The non‐transferrin component is closely associated with phosphoprotein. 3. There is no exchange of iron in vitro between the components, but in the living bird transferrin iron seems to be the precursor of the phosphoprotein iron.
