In reduced uteroferrin, unexpectedly large anisotropies in the hyperfine tensor at the ferric site are rationalized naturally and in a way consistent with the other mag- netic properties. Similar observations on a sulfide derivative of hemerythrin appear to be susceptible to the same sort of expla- nation, although the Mossbauer simulations are not as refined. An unusual EPR spectrum observed in a nitric oxide derivative of deoxyhemerythrin is also explicable in the spin-coupling model; the corresponding Mossbauer spectra are reported but have not been analyzed in detail.","Preliminary studies of some non-Kramers systems are also presented. The Mossbauer spectrum of an azide derivative of deoxyhemerythrin broadens in a small applied field, indicating the presence of a near degeneracy. The spectrum of oxidized utero- ferrin broadens as the temperature is raised, even in the absence of an applied field.
