In 50 Kerema or Kairuku individuals of the Papuan Gulf Area, the amount of beta thalassaemia as indicated by the finding of a raised level of Hb A2 was found to be 6%, and of hereditary ovalocytosis 16%. There was one example of both conditions occurring together. No haemoglobin abnormalities apart from raised Hb A2 level were found.
