E M SCOTT, and I V GRIFFITH, and D D HOSKINS, and R G SCHNEIDER

In an examination of the blood of 708 Eskimos, 200 Aleuts, and 44 Indians in Alaska for abnormal types of hemoglobin, only normal hemoglobin A was detected. It may be concluded that abnormal hemoglobins in these races are rare if they occur at all.
