Abstract. Four Natal Indians with the S‐s‐U‐ phenotype represent the first recorded examples outside the Negro race. The propositus had anti‐c and anti‐U in her serum but her CcDee U+ infant was only mildly affected by haemolytic disease of the newborn. There was no consanguinity in the family, and no evidence of Negroid genes. Dosage studies with anti‐S and anti‐s showed that only single doses of S or s accompanied the u allele.
