Summary A report is given of liquor amnii tests on 101 sensitized rhesus-negative women. It has been found that: (1) the liquor must be tested fresh before the 35th week; and (2) an accurate prediction can be obtained in at least 94.9% of cases. This work has been made possible by the willing co-operation of all members of the medical and nursing staffs of St. Mary's Hospitals, Manchester. I wish to thank
