145. Anthropology and Blood-Grouping, with Special Reference to the Australian Aborigenes

Abstract
The evidence is presented for believing that the Australian Aboriginal in his pure state possesses only the Alpha iso-agglutinogen in his blood. The distribution and the inheritance of the blood groups is discussed; also their relation to what is known of the groups in anthropoids. It is suggested that the aboriginal inhabitants of Australia must have been derived from a few immigrants in order that the blood grouping should have obtained its present character.
