Abstract
IN a previous communication1, one of us described the grouping of normal individuals into three groups (I, IIA and IIB) on the basis of differences in their serum proteins. A full account of the starch-gel electrophoretic method used for demonstrating these differences and a discussion of the validity of the consequent groupings are now in the press2. In these two papers it was suggested that the serum group of a given individual might be fixed and determined by genetic factors.
