Three Bu(a+)Sm+ x Bu(a+)Sm+ families with three Bu(a+)Sm—, 11 Bu(a+)Sm+ and seven Bu(a—)Sm+ children are reported, supporting the hypothesis that Bu a and Sm are products of allelic genes. The inheritance of Bu a has been shown to be independent of sex and of all blood group systems reported prior to 1962 except Diego, Yt and Auberger. It is now reported to be independent of the antigens Do a and Cs a .
