Abstract
IN previous communications we reported the presence of the blood group antigen Dia in Chippewa Indians in North America and in Japanese1, and its absence in 156 Eskimos of the eastern Canadian Arctic2. Since then Layrisse and Arends3 and Junqueira and Wishart4 have reported the absence of Dia in 107 and in 150 pure blood Negroes, while Simmons5 has reported its absence in 80 eastern Polynesians, 162 Australian aborigines, 23 Papuans and 74 natives of New Britain.
