Abstract
A note on the shape of the red blood cell is revisited, utilizing variational calculus to to find an extremum for the surface area of such a cell, using the volume as a constraint. A fairly significant error in the value of the volume is corrected, and the note concludes with a discussion of measures of cell shape (such as the sphericity index) which are more appropriate than the dimensional surface area to volume ratio.
