- Abstract
The article presents information on erythroeytic galactokinase and galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase activity were low in many species of marsupials. Blood was collected from tarsal veins of un-anaesthetised bandicoots. Possums were anaesthetised with ether, and blood then taken by cardiac puncture. Un-anaesthetised koalas were bled from the cephalic vein. Blood was taken from the lateral tail veins of unanaesthetised parma wallabies, tammar wallabies and wallaroos. The one Tasmanian devil available was anaesthetised with ether, and blood then taken from the cephalic vein.
