Abstract
WE agree with Prof. Haldane's view1 that the existence of a fourth allelomorph underlying the inheritance of blood groups (equivalent to the theory proposed by us2) cannot be regarded as proved until tested in some such way as he suggests. The published statistics of many investigators, collected by Lattes3, do not give sufficient information about individual families for the points raised by Prof. Haldane to be dealt with immediately.
