TWO OF us (G. J. A. and H. L. S.), in 1952, published a report in the A. M. A. Archives of Internal Medicine of an unusual case of follicular lymphoma.1 For a short time this patient had presented the clinical and laboratory findings of acute leukemia, and then these findings had spontaneously disappeared. Repeated lymph node biopsies proved that this patient had follicular lymphoma with sarcomatous changes.

From a large number of leukemia cases we have studied a few in which "notched nucleus cells" were characteristically present. The results of these studies were briefly presented in the form of a lecture in May, 1953 3; a more detailed presentation of the subject is now being published elsewhere.4 The
