The case just recorded forms an interesting sequel to my last and gives a clinical picture of another form of derangement of the visual memory. In this case the symptoms were only transient, being due to functional derangement caused by toxic influences ; but in the vast majority of cases this form of visual derangement is a symptom of grave organic disease of the brain. Most important of all, it is a focal symptom pointing to disease of a particular area of the brain and it has already been used with success as a localising symptom in cases where surgical interference was indicated.
