Extract

There have been relatively few studies of Huntington's Chorea in Britain. They include those of Curran (1930), Critchley (1934), Spillane and Phillips (1937), Minski and Gutt- mann (1938), Bickford and Ellison (1953), Pleydell (1954), Lyon (1962), Heathfield (1967), and Oliver (1970). Julia Bell's (1934) monograph was primarily a review of the literature, but included cases previously reported in this country and the results of her own observations.
