a balance board were described. In my series of normal persons, generally from 1 to 3 milliamperes of galvanic current and rarely 5 milliamperes was necessary to produce falling. Labyrinths inactive to caloric stimulation failed to react to a large amount of galvanic current (20 milliamperes).Of the sixty-three patients examined for hearing, fifty-five (87 per cent) responded normally. This compares well with the results of Langdon,2 who reported normal hearing in 85 per cent of thirty-five patients with epilepsy, and differs from those obtained by Jones,3 who found no cochlear defects in twenty-seven such patients.In twenty-nine patients, nine with organic and twenty with functional epilepsy, tested for galvanic falling, caloric nystagmus, past pointing, and hearing, eighteen (62 per cent) were found to have normal vestibular and auditory functions. In sixty-one patients tested for hearing, vestibular function was determined by caloric nystagmus, galvanic falling or both; forty-five (73.7 per cent) reacted with normal vestibular and auditory responses. Sixteen were classified as having abnormal vestibular function because of falling produced by 0.5 milli-Otologist to the
