Thirty-four bony specimens of isthmic spondylolysis were examined and, in a significant number (32%), stenosis of the intervertebral foramen was noted. Although not emphasised in previous reports, this finding may be an important factor in the
1. Thirteen cases of "pseudorheumatoid" nodules are presented. Eight of these have been observed for three months to eleven years. 2.

The findings in a child with bilateral congenital dislocation of the hips who died shortly after birth are described. The only significant abnormality present was redundancy of the capsular ligaments and elongation of the ligament of the femoral head. The relationship between the orientation of the femoral neck and of the acetabulum was within normal limits. The significance of these findings in relation to
