Of eight chimpanzees which completed the course of immunization with red cells of other chimpanzees, five responded by producing antibodies of two different specificities previously not encountered and designated anti‐ E c and anti‐ F c , respectively. Serological and statistical evidence is presented indicating that the blood factors E c and F c detected by these antisera, together with the blood factor C c previously described, define a blood group system designated the C‐E‐F system. Th C‐E‐F system is thus the second blood group system, not counting the human‐type A‐B‐O system, to be identified in chimpanzees.
