Abstract
THE purpose of this investigation was to record the distribution of A1A2BO, MN, Rh, Kell and Duffy blood groups and of ABH secretor factor and haemoglobin variants, if any, of the Chinese in Calcutta, most of whom are reported to have migrated from Canton about two or three generations ago. They live in groups and do not seem to intermingle with Indians.
