Numerous morphologic observations, especially those of Fonio and Schwendener (I), suggest that the platelets have an important, possibly an initiating role, in the coagulation of blood. In order to retard the clotting process enough to permit accurate observation, Fonio and Schwendener employed various anticoagulants and low temperatures. Tocantins (2), on the other hand, studied the clotting of hemophilic plasma and observed that fibrin threads formed independent of the platelets. Although platelets do not contain an appreciable amount of prothrombin, recent work (3-6) indicates that there is a material associated with them which facilitates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Normal human plasma clots slowly enough in silicone-coated glass to permit observation of the process. It is such observations which we wish to report. We also compared platelets to plasma in content of what might be termed ‘prothrombin conversion factors’ and shall include the results of our comparison.
