Attention is drawn to a peculiar "interstitial pneumonitis" in five infants from three families.

In one of these families with three infants, there was chronic pulmonary disease in four adults; in another family, in one infant and one adult. In each adult the total picture, from data available, was identical with that of the Hamman-Rich syndrome.

In order to distinguish these cases from others included in the Hamman-Rich syndrome, the term familial cystic fibrosis of the lungs or familial fibrocystic pulmonary dysplasia is suggested.

The genetic implications are discussed.
