Erythropoiesis in peripheral blood of seven species of New Zealand and one species of Canadian birds

Abstract
The development of clone cells as protuberations from nuclei of mature erythrocytes in peripheral blood has been described for seven native New Zealand birds. The percentage of new cells ranged from 38.95 in the kiwi to 11.35 in the yellow-eyed penguin. Blood from a native Canadian bird, the white-throated sparrow, had 29.75% and 25.00% new cells. These results support earlier work.
