N2  - The paper reports the results obtained from the study of the distribution of ABO blood groups of the Koch, a major detribalized caste group of Assam. The study reveal that gene O is more frequent (62.15%) in comparison to A (20.04%) and B (17.81%). The Koch population is compared with some tribal populations, who form their ancestral stock and also with population groups of almost equivalent caste status in the light of their ethnic affiliation.
