There have been presented the total blood cholesterol estimations, as measured in 100 cc. of whole blood, in 54 normal individuals and in 200 individuals not normal from a neuropsychiatric point of view.
These two types of cases were considered as two distinct groups and the material evaluated accordingly.
The evaluation of the results was carried out by means of a statistical procedure.
The author wishes to acknowledge his appreciation of the assistance of Dr. George S. Johnson, Acting Director of the Colorado Psychopathic Hospital; Robert C. Challman, psychologist; and Miss Rachel D. Frame, in the preparation of the manuscript.
