1. Twenty-eight cases of the infantile and three cases of the adolescent type of tibia vara occurring in West Indian Negroes are reported.

2. The condition is characterised by failure of growth of the postero-medial part of the upper tibial epiphysis.

3. The deformity produced is acute varus at the upper tibia with medial torsion and eventually flexion of the diaphysis on the epiphysis.

4. These deformities are considered to be due to a vicious circle set up by considerable alteration of the lines of force on the medial portion of the upper tibial epiphysial line.

1. The bone changes are described in fifty-one cases of sickle cell anaemia. nineteen cases of sickle cell haemoglobin C disease and two cases of sickle cell thalassaemia.

2. Avascular necrosis of the head of the femur has been found in all three types of sickle cell disease. These responded to treatment.

3. The changes found in six cases of Perthes' disease in the negro are compared with the changes in avascular necrosis of the head of the femur in sickle cell disease.

4. Hyperplastic bone changes are seen only in true sickle cell anaemia and not in the variants.

5. Secondary osteomyelitis appears to be fairly common in sickle cell anaemia. Organisms of the salmonella group have often been found in these cases.

Two cases of benign osteoblastic tumours of the spine, occurring in young patients, and presenting as expanding osteolytic lesions with some central calcification and ossification, are described. It is suggested that they represent a condition allied to, but usefully separated from, osteoid osteoma of bone. The name osteogenic fibroma of bone, proposed by Lichtenstein for this type of case, is accepted.

1. The clinical features in twenty cases of osteoid osteoma have been analysed and compared with other cases reported in the literature.

2. The lesion is regarded as a benign neoplasm and its unusual clinical behaviour is attributed to its vascular nature.

3. The frequency with which an erroneous diagnosis of "neurosis" is made is stressed.
