. Water soluble I blood group substance is present in the milk and saliva of rhesus monkeys, but the antigen is not present on their red cells. The AB and I group antigens thus have a parallel distribution on the cells and in the secretions of these animals. The results support the conclusion of other workers that the ABO and I group antigens are closely interrelated.
