. The technique of proteolytic digestion employing the enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and protease was used to investigate the physical order of subtypic determinants occurring on bovine erythrocytes. In the B system subgroup Y 1 , Y 2 , the determinants behaved as if linearly arranged in the same order as predicted from their serological behavior; furthermore, the differences between the two subtypes appeared to be quantitative rather than qualitative. In the E' 1 , E' 2 , E' 3 subgroup, however, the subtypic determinants did not appear to be physically linear, although they are serologically linear.
