Abstract

A Philips U. V. lamp (for U. V. irradiations) and an E.E.L. spectrophotometer (for measurement of melanin pigmentation of skin) were used to study the existence of any genetical differences in the skin tanning capacity in the males of four Indian caste groups, namely the Arora, the Baniya, the (bengali) Brahman and the Kayastha (Saxena). It was found that only the Arora and the Baniya show genetical differences in skin tanning capacity while the rest don't.
