Dr. Szalay is most correct in noting that the two patients reported by Rabinowitz et al.1 did not have esophageal atresia. In reviewing our earlier drafts it is apparent that the incidence of esophageal atresia was erroneously increased from three of all five cases. We must accept responsibility for this oversight.

We are of the opinion that our patient did possess the typical facies as described by Potter in 1946,2 i.e., low-set ears, bilateral epicanthal folds, flattened nasal bridge, and a small mandible.
