Summary The first two examples of M g antigen from India are reported. Two families with 9 M g positive individuals are studied. In one family, inheritance was by the gene complex M g s but in the other there was no means of deciding between M g s and M g S . The antigen M g appears to be rare, since no other instance was detected in over 9,200 samples tested. 12 out of 1,614 random sera (0.74%) showed the presence of anti‐M g antibody.
