Abstract: A description of the method used to detect Thalassemia traits is provided with particular reference to Silvestroni and Bianco (1943), who employed this method of testing in a series of population surveys carried out in Italy and Sicily. Their objective was to the map the geographical pattern of incidence of this anomaly. The same method was then adopted for a survey in Malta and Gozo between 1960 and 1963. The most interesting feature is that the results of the Maltese survey are very similar to those found by Silvestroni and Bianco (1949,1953) in neighboring Sicily.
