Resumoxjsii upon the audiometric findings which is closely related to the educational grading of deaf children prescribed by the Ministry of Education.The validity of the audiometric findings and of the educational recommendations based thereon was investi- gated in the course of a follow-up of 40 children, the results of which are described and discussed.Consideration is also given to the relationship between the pure-tone audiogram and the hearing capacity for the spoken voice.Emphasis is laid upon the fact that this relationship depends essentially upon the pathology of the deafening disease.It seems justifiable to assume that in the majority of deaf children pure-tone audiometry provides a useful measure of hearing capacity for speech.It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great help that we have received in the course of this work from a number of our colleagues.Dr. J. L. Dunlop, county medical officer, Hertford- shire, and Mr. Henry Sharp, aural surgeon, Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, have referred many patients to us for examination.Mr. R. Bolam, of the staff of the Oto- logical Research Unit, devised and constructed the mechanism of the present peep-show, which has now stood the test of several years' hard work.Mr. Bernard Adams
