Description

Sectional committee: Physiology

Not recommended for publication in its present form. It is doubtful if the evidence for the author's conclusions are adequate. Until the existence of the two groups of blood can de definitively proven, attempting to investigate their genetic behaviour would be premature.

[Not published].
