• 1. 1. Values for thirteen hematologie parameters for the Roosevelt elk ( Cervus canadensis roosevelti) were determined. Fifteen samples were drawn from five zoo and seven wild animals. 2. 2. The results were grouped for comparison according to age and confinement. 3. 3. Lower mean glucose values were found in the zoo population (160 mg %) than in the wild (251 mg %). 4. 4. Alkaline phosphatase was lower in older animals and showed no relationship to confinement. 5. 5. Albumin was considerably higher in confined elk and globulin was higher in wild elk.
