Appendix 9 summarizes the Ailingnae counts since 1954. and no untoward changes are apparent. Ailingnae Population Utirik Population The mean blood counts in the 14 Ailingnae The Utirik population, examinedin 1966, had mean leukocyte counts and differential counts not people at 11 years were about the same as in the unexposed comparison population, except that very different from those of 3 years previously. No platelet levels were higher. At 12 years the counts 480" ie \ 3 !
