I wish to thank Dr W. Weiner, Birmingham, the medical director of the National Blood Transfusion Service in the Midland Region, for offering me every facility to analyse the relevant blood-group record cards. Professor C. D. Darlington offered a number of valuable suggestions, as did Professors D. R. Dudley and R. H. Hilton of the University of Birmingham. I am grateful to all three, as I am to my wife who drew the map.
