A system of practical medicine . Tremor of post-hemiplegic polymyoclonus (taken from thumb only with kymograph). the condition would be exactly analogous to shaking palsy. The tremoris constant and only ceases during sleep. It is neither a choreiformnor an athetoid movement, but a special kind of tremor. Fig. 75shows this tremor taken with the kymograph, the whole hand claspinga bulb connected with Mareys tambours and the pen. The movementin the thumb alone is indicated in the illustration.

Tremor in Prog-ressive Muscular Atrophy.—This is a fibrillar^/tremor, a fine rippling tremor that travels over the surface of muscleswithout moving the parts to which they are attached. It goes from onebundle of muscle fibres to another, and is most marked in the wastedmuscles. There is no tremor in the fingers or hands. It is present inthe spinal type of muscular atrophy, and absent in the primary muscu-lar dystrophies. This minute fibrillary tremor is common also in thetongue in general paralysis, and is occasionally met with
