Abstract

Distribution of ABO and Rh(D) blood group was studied in 206 Lodha subjects living in the Midnapore district of West Bengal. It was observed that incidence of group A was maximum and incidence of group AB was minimum; 99.5% of the subjects were 'Rh' positive. The highest incidence of group A amongst Lodhas indicates that they might belong to the proto-Australoid group anthropologically.
