The Seminole Indians<\/a> of Florida<\/a> were studied on their three reservations for blood types, red cell enzymes, serum proteins, physical measurements, and relationships. Both serologic and morphologic factors suggest their close similarity to other Indians and small amount of admixture. The Florida Seminoles are similar to Cherokee<\/a> \u201cfull-bloods\u201d in their absence of Rho<\/a> and their incidence of O and M. In the presence of Dia<\/sup> they are similar to other Indians, especially those of South America. While the presence of G-6-P-D<\/a> A and the frequency of Hgb<\/a>. S are indicative of Negro ancestry, the absence of Rho suggests that the Negro contribution must have been small. Physical traits give parallel results. Both serology and morphology further show that the Seminoles of the Dania and Big Cypress reservations<\/a> are more similar to each other than to those of the Brighton reservation<\/a>, in keeping with their history.<\/p>\n
