The mechanisms controlling erythropoiesis have posed a fascinating problem for almost a century. In dealing with this problem, experimentors in this field have faced dual difficulties. As well as elucidating what are now believed to be the true mechanism of control, they were concomitantly required to dispel earlier, deeply rooted misconceptions. It has long been known that the red blood cell mass is designed almost exclusively for the purpose of transporting oxygen. Its functional capacity, then, must primarily be determined by the concentration of haemoglobin it maintains in the circulating blood.
