Case IIL—E. S., male, aged 2^; secondfamily. Gradual onset beginning at age of20. Typical manifestations of Lebers dis-ease. Roentgen report: Sella turcica largeand deep and on the borderline of normalsize. Floor and posterior clinoid processesthin, but not out of proportion to thebase and vault.

These three cases were informally re-ported before the Philadelphia RoentgenRay Society, and it was the consensus ofopinion of the members that the fossaewere certainly on the borderline of normaland possibly beyond. It was thought bestto examine some normal members of thefamilies for comparison before drawingany more definite conclusions. Three mem-bers of Family II were subsequentlyinduced to come for examination byDoctor Zentmayer, with the followingresults: Case IV.—F. S., brother of Case III,aged 27 years. Gradual failure of vision atthe age of twelve, which has not beenrecovered. Typical manifestations of Le-bers disease (Fig. 2). Roentgen report:Sella turcica possibly within normal limitsof size but about on the borderline. Noevidence of unusual pressure. Floor andposterior processes thin, not o
