394 finding by Dr C.

The meeting was closed by two exciting lectures, given by Dr J. R. Hobbs, London, and Dr F.

Brenton, London. This four-hour workshop included international practical experiences in the treatment of maternal phenylketonuria as well as the results of amino acid transport and animal experiments.
