spastic paralysis of children and adults. The atrophy is lim- 

 ited to the paralyzed members, as in monoplegia, hemiplegia 

 and diplegia. In the majority of these cases the atrophy is 

 slight, due more to the inactivity of the paralyzed member. 

 The reaction formula is normal, sensory disturbances are ab- 

 sent. In exceptional cases a high degree of atrophy may be 

 present due in all probability, not to the functio lesio, but to 

 the lesions in the trophic centers of the cortex, the exact seat 

 of which is as yet undetermined.
