1) The Author and his co-workers investigated the hereditary relation of the blood groups in 1595 families and came to the conclusion that the human blood group is hereditary according to the hypothesis of the three heredity units. (Table I)
2) The relation between the blood groups mothers and children was tested. The result is shown in table II and III.
3) The blood groups of the human foetus were tested, and it was proved that no foetus has been known to belong to a blood group contrary to the law of heredity. The group agglutinogen in an embryo can be determined from the second foetal month, but the agglutinins in serum will appear after birth.
4) The Group agglutinogens (A and B) and the group agglutinins were found in the blood of animals as well as in human blood. The sera of animals might be classified into six groups.
