In the preface of this publication the authors state that it developed from a descriptive syllabus designed for study before and after viewing a collection of teaching films. A list of these films is given in Appendix I of this book. They illustrate methods of examination, chemical differentiation, mechanisms involved and occurrence in diseases as follows: 1. Abnormal Involuntary Movements; 2. Disorders of Gait; 3. Disorders of Coördination; 4. Muscle Status; 5. Reflexes; 6. Skilled Acts; 7. Oculomotor Disorders; 8. Facial Palsy; 9. Disorders of the Vestibular System; 10. Disorders of the Motor Trigeminal, Spinal Accessory and Hypoglossal Nerve.
The contents of the book closely parallel subject matter of the films but when it was found that a purely descriptive syllabus seemed 'barren without illustrations', two hundred and fifty well-chosen illustrations were added, many of them being enlargements of the 16 mm. moving picture film itself. Appendix II provides a schedule of neurological and mental examinations and Appendix III a reference bibliography. The volume as published is a compendium of great value as a quick reference for those in the practice of neurology, in addition to its original purpose of providing, for medical students, a preparation for diagnosis at the bedside when used in association with the films. It is in itself an excellent addition to a neurological reference library.
