Abstract
WE have determined the fuli ABO, Rh and MN blood groups of 167 Basques. The persons examined were selected as being of unmixed Basque descent, mostly by the Rev. Prof. J. M. de Barandiaran. None of the persons examined was known to be a blood relation of any of the others. The accompanying tables give a summary of our results.
