I investigated the blood groups of the Chinese living in the northern part of Shansi province of China. Among 206 individuals tested, 54 belonged to 0, 54 to A, 75 to B and 23 to AB.
I compared the distribution of blood groups, by the z2 test method, among the people of this district with that of the Chinese in other provinces of China, as well as with that of the Mongolians, Tungus, Koreans and Japanese.
I could find no difference in the distribution of blood groups between the Chinese in this district and that of the Chinese in Manchuria, Shansi, Shensi, Honan, Anhwei and Szechwan provinces of China.
The sirne holds true between the Chinese in this district and the Mongolians, Man-. churians and Koreans living in the northern and middle parts of Korea.
