Abstract
The mode of inheritance of blood groups in man and animals has been a matter of discussion as long as investigations in this field have been performed.
A series of aberrations from the usual transmission of genes controlling the blood groups of the system B of cattle is presented. These data offer a contribution to the assumption that the blood groups are controlled by linked genes.
