Abstract
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views nor a promotion of eugenics in any way.

Men, women, elderly persons, children, negroes, Chinese, Germans and Italians were all shown to have in their ranks both tasters and non-tasters and it was established that this peculiar phenomenon was not connected with age, race or sex.

A curious property of phenylthiocarbamide was discovered when a colleague complained of the extremely bitter taste, which Fox himself was unable to confirm, and the test has been used as a genetic marker in the investigation of human pedigrees.
