A case of macroglobulinemia with unusual fundus findings has recently been reported by Gates and Richards.¹ This patient also presented severe electroretinographic changes which will be briefly described in this paper and compared to electroretinograms obtained from patients with various forms of anemia.

Report of Cases

CASE 1

—Electroretinograms were done on the patient with macroglobulinemia on Feb. 9, 1960, on which date he had a hemoglobin concentration of 9 gm. %. The electroretinographic records from either eye were essentially the same. They showed with I₁ stimuli * after 12 min. of dark adaptation only a small negative deflection. With I₁ F_1.30 there was no response after 18 min. of dark adaptation and the responses with I₁ F_0.7 and I₁ were extremely low.
