Abstract
During a domiciliary visit one of us encountered a child who appeared to be a typical mongol and who nevertheless behaved remarkably intelligently. This child was later shown to numerous colleagues, among them the late Sir Leonard Parsons, who spontaneously suggested that she was a “mongol.” The combination of mongoloid features, which she exhibits, and normal intelligence is of sufficient interest, we feel, to be recorded.Keywords
