    absent from the blood of both parents it is not found in the blood of their offspring. In the same way some supplementary information concerning the inheritance of E may be obtained from families that have been tested with anti-E but not anti-e and which therefore cannot con tribute to Table 53. Table 55 shows the issue of matings not -E X not-E collected from the literature.

It is clear from what has gone before that a child cannot have an antigen D or d, C or c, E or e if both his parents lack it. This is not the only way in which paternity can be excluded by Rh, but it is an important way. The subject will be discussed in the chapter on the medico-legal aspects of blood grouping. The triple inheritance We have dealt with the basic inheritance of Rh, the inheritance of the elementary antigens. Taken in this way the antigens are seen to be controlled by the simplest form of inheritance known in diploid species that enjoy sexual reproduction. But, what we have taken asunder for purposes of exposition and analysis, we must now join together. That the antigens are handed
