Thisis where he has had the pain since the accident, sometimesfor months continuously, and, if anything, worse by of occipitals not tender. One large, flat nuchal glandon the left. In walking he uses a stick, and hitches or drags theright leg some,—literally puts best foot forward, espe-cially in going up-stairs. Cramps in hip and leg on rightare common after sitting. There is, on the right, a slightknee-jerk from the tendon, but stronger from the is variable, though usually weak. Visual fields were as shown on the following chart. For Visual field in Case II. Dotted line indicates limit for red. the various colors perception was reduced correspondinglywith that for red. This concentric limitation suggests thatthe visual deficiency here might be functional rather thandefinitely organic. Left pupil is a trifle wider than eye drops outward, and is poorly mobile,—upward CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. 137 to horizontal only, and inward but little beyond the middleline (doubtless paretic oculo-motor). Watch heard on the right at three inches, on the left atthree feet. Cannot hear slight sounds, or else fails to heedthem. Laughs or cries over-easily. Catches a joke much trouble in talking, the effort at times gettinghim into a general tremor. Often uses wrong word, andthen tries to correct it, gesticulating frantically with hisleft hand. Has great difficulty in writing a letter, andalways makes so
