“…It aeems wiae to look rather critically at any differences in blood-group frequencies as it ia clear that there is considerable heterogeneity in blood groups in Northern Ireland, those with 'Irish' namea being, according to Hart (1944), significantly different in aome respect from those with 'settlera' namea.…”

The outline data concerning the 1127 abortions identified in 1110 Belfast resident women in 1957 are set out in Table 1. Summary Data are presented of 1110 women who had 1127 post 4‐week abortions which occurred in Belfast in 1957. These are believed to represent a high proportion of all such abortions which occurred in the city, but the frequency of 11.8 per 1000 pregnancies must be minimal. It is suggested that the true figure lies between this figure and 16 %. There is no evidence to suggest that more than a small fraction of abortions, say 1 %, are criminally induced. Data are also presented relating to 983 women who had 1002 consecutively admitted abortions in two hospitals (X and Y). This series was studied in more detail as more complete data were available. Aetiological factors are discussed.

“…There is no evidence of any area of Ireland having a significantly higher B gene frequency than any other area--the counties appear to be randomly distributed with respect to their B gene frequencies. (Gene frequencies calculated from Hart's survey of blood groups in certain areas of Northern Ireland (Hart, 1944) are included in this map and in figs. 2 and 3.…”

Turning to historic times it would appear that from A.D. ioo to A.D. 8oo the country was ruled by a Gaelic aristocracy and it may be that this rule was over peoples of many distinct races. Prior to the Norse invasions of about 8oo A.D. there was a unity of civilisation, law and language under a Gaelic High Kingship. Ireland was not conquered by the Romans. The Norse invaders established colonies and fortresses round the coast and these were especially strong at Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Limerick. For two hundred years they tried to subdue the country but their attempts ended when Brian Boru routed their Dublin garrison in i 014. With the centre of their power destroyed the Norsemen's coastal settlements became isolated communities enjoying citizen rights under the High Kingship. After a period of unsettled Gaelic rule, Ireland experienced a tide of Anglo-Norman invasion and settlement from i i66 to about 1300. This flow was mainly into south and east Louth, Meath, the eastern half of Westmeath,

“…These gave us figures for secretor/non-secretor frequencies for comparison with the alcoholic patients. The distribution of ABO groups among Scottish and Irish controls was derived from three large published series because the call-up of donors at the various centres was not random for these groups (Hart, 1944;Kopec, 1956;Hackett and Dawson, 1958). Table I also shows the distribution of non-secretor frequencies among the various ABO groups of the total number of patients tested.…”
