The small muscles of the footmay escape. The peronei are selected first in the leg type. The tendon-reflexes are usually diminished, and when wasting orpseudohypertrophy is apparent they are commonly abolished. The or-dinary case shows only a quantitative reduction of electrical muscularstimulatabiliti/ for both currents. In rare instances, and usually in theperoneal or so-called neurotic type, the reaction of degeneration may beobtained. Fibrillary twitchings and severe pains are equally rare, butare found under similar circumstances. The sphincters are not
