SUMMARY 1. Blood groups OA 1 A 2 B, Rh, taste reaction to phenyl‐thio‐carbamide and colour blindness of the red‐green type have been investigated in six migrant endogamous groups in India. Data for blood group MN have been given for two of the six groups. 2. Intra‐ and intergroup variations in these endogamous groups are analysed statistically. 3. A comparative survey of some genetic traits between these migrant groups and the original community is given. Significance of the changes in gene frequencies in the estimation of N is discussed.
