Recently, evidence has been presented which suggests that pernicious anemia develops on the basis of some hereditary predisposition. In particular Schauman 1 and Martius have supported this view. A review of the known facts concerning the inheritance of pernicious anemia has recently been published by Meulengracht 2 . In this connection it is interesting to note that we have observed both types of anemia associated with achylia in the same family. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANEMIA WITH ACHYLIA IN ONE FAMILY The following observations concern three patients with achylia of whom two, father and son, died of pernicious
