Normal laboratory baboons subsisting upon a fruit/vegetable diet were found to have bone marrow changes in the nuclei of developing normoblasts. The parenteral administration of folic acid and vitamin B12 in adequate dosage did not alter these changes. These nuclear abnormalities appear to be a specific characteristic of the baboon and do not appear to suggest an imbalance of DNA synthesis.
