Abstract
A SECOND example of the human hæmagglutinin, anti-S, discovered by Walsh and Montgomery1 has been identified. This agglutinin was shown by Sanger and Race2 to be connected with the MN blood-group system, and to define either two more allelomorphs, MS and NS, at this locus, or else a second locus S, very closely linked to that for M and N. For practical purposes there is no difference between these two alternative possibilities.
