John N. Lein M.D.1, C. Thomas Stewart M.D.1, and Frederic C. Moll M.D.1

Two families with hereditary sex-linked nystagmus are reported. In 1 family there were 9 males affected in 6 generations and in the other 5 males in 5 generations. The hereditary characteristic is presumably carried on the X chromosome as in red-green color blindness and hemophilia. The characteristics of the syndrome are discussed.
