    Cases of Congenital Acholuric Jaundice in One Family,” we wrote: “It is highly probable that in some cases of the disease the jaundice, at all events, obvious jaundice, may be intermittent instead of remittent, that is, that for a time at least jaundice may be appar- ently absent, though the splenomegaly and characteristic blood features of the disease are present. Such cases might be clinically termed cases of splenomegalic anemia. . . . In other words, it appears almost certain that a form of splenomegalic anemia with- out jaundice may occur, although, perhaps, only temporarily, as an incomplete form of the chronic splenomegalic acholuric jaundice, of which the family in question affords complete examples.” In conclusion, I must specially thank Dr. Daser for his informa- tion on the early history of the patient H. A., Dr. Dorner for his help in the examination of the same case at the German Hospital, and Df. Ledingham for his kind report on its pathological histology.
