IN recent discussions on aphasia, the view has been expressed that the purely psychological aspect of the subject should be looked upon as of subsidiary importance and laid aside for the present until more pressing clinical and anatomical problems have been solved. Some justification may be necessary therefore, if, in spite of this dictum, I take for my subject a rare condition in which the question of localization does not arise and discuss it in what may appear to be unnecessarily minute detail. This justification, I like to think, is found in the consideration that it is only in this way we can hope to obtain an insight into simpler and more usual processes; in this I am at one with W. James who said that" the great field of new discoveries is always the unclassified residuum." At the International Congress held at Paris in 1900, 1 drew attention to an aphasic disturbance which, by analogy with echolalia, I called echographia [9]. The symptoms seemed to be unknown to others at that time, my French colleagues in particular accepting it as something quite new. In my paper, which was written from memory in Paris itself, I stated that Bateman [1] had seen something similar in a case of Voisin's in Paris. But this is not correct; Bateman, after describing Voisin's case of echolalia, mentions another case in which an aphasic patient echoed in writing everything that was said to her. Bateman explains this by assuming that the impressions on the auditory centre" stimulated" the writing centre.
