all the small bonesof the foot, concentric around the centers of ossification. It seems to me that this is an important point, one by whichwe can differentiate early cretinism from the ordinary formsof diseased bones, such as Dr. Pancoast has spoken of. Iwould like to ask him whether he has seen these concentricrings in the epiphyses, and in the small bones of the foot inthe case he studied. DR. P. M. HICKEY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN. A point in the radiography of cretins is that often the bonedevelopment corresponds very closely with the mental devel-opment. A cretin with the mental development of the averagechild of five usually has bones which, in development, are likethose of a child of five, showing, I think, that there must besome relationship between mental and bone development. DR. JOHN W. HUNTER, JR., NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. I would like to ask Dr. Pancoast whether he has ever noticedany difference in the radiographs made before and after theadministration of thyroidectin in these cases.
