Summary This case is of unusual interest in that there are only 5 cases of epispadias on record 1 ; no other developmental abnormalities were noted in this subject or had been observed in the other members of his family. The abnormality undoubtedly interfered with the treatment of the gonococcal infection and probably played an important rôle in the frequent relapses of urethritis. I am indebted to Colonel R. Errington, C. B. E., M. C., T. D., for permission to publish this case, to Major W. Brockbank for the photographs taken, and to Major R. W. Fairbrother for investigation of all smears from the urethra.
