Summary Electrophoretic investigations of the protein and enzyme groups of 8 plasma and of 11 red cell systems have been carried out on 42 samples of seals of the species Mirounga leonina (L.) from Macquarie Island. Variation was demonstrated in the following 5 systems: phosphoglucomutase, red cell acid phosphatase, phosphohexose isomerase, albumin and pre‐albumin.
