Hogben has discussed the question of gene equilibrium in the Rhesus blood-group factor, and draws the conclusion that a mutation-rate from Rhesus-positive to Rhesus-negative genes of quite unprecedented magnitude can be inferred from what is at present known of the genetic situation and the medical facts.
