Abstract
Two unrelated families have been found to demonstrate the inheritance of a new and rare red cell antigen, the specificity of which appears to differ from that of all other antigens so far described. It is proposed that the new antigen be named Cla(Caldwell). The close genetical linkage of Cla to the MNSs system has been established. In the two families here reported the coupling of Cla is with Ms throughout.
