Abstract
Studies in the Freetown area of Sierra Leone indicate that, although blood-cell counts and Hb levels among the negroes avg. about the same as the norms for European whites, there was a higher incidence of the sickle-cell trait (27%). Of natives showing various phases of anemia, the majority were suffering from the ortho-chromic normocytfc variety. Of the other types, cases of hypochromic microcytic anemia were more frequent than cases of hyperchromic macrocytic anemia.Keywords
