摘要
From pedigree analysis of a sample of 214 Orcadians, inbreeding levels are high by comparison with the limited data for Britain. The mean inbreeding coefficient is 0-001834, with a zero baseline taken as 1750. There appears little secular change for subjects born over the period 1870-1949. Local variations occur within Orkney, and possible reasons for these are suggested. © 1979, North American Conference of British Studies. All rights reserved.
