The human‐type A‐B‐O blood groups of 52 bonnet macaques ( Macaca radiata ) were determined. Application of method of population genetics indicated the gene frequences to be O = 0.173, A = 0.480 and B = 0.347. Cross testing of sera and red cells of the bonnet macaques revealed two blood‐type‐specific isoagglutinins, one of them strong enough for use as a blood typing reagent. No blood group polymorphism was revealed by testing bonnet macaque red cells with isoantisera produced in rhesus monkeys ( M. mulatta ) and in crab‐eating macaques ( M. fascicularis ). The rhesus and crab‐eating macaque isoantisera reacted either with all or with none of the bonnet macaque red cells tested.
