In an earlier study (Stengel et al., 1955), reactions of various types of mental patients to eleven different painful and noxious stimuli were described. Two groups of 54 females and 43 male low-grade defectives were included in the original investigation, but it was felt at that time that the results needed further amplification before they could be usefully commented upon. In this earlier investigation only one of us actually carried out the tests, the reliability of which, therefore, was not clearly established. Furthermore, in the original testing of low-grade defectives no assessment of “Overt Reactivity” was made. As the relationship between this factor and pain reactivity in the other patient groups constituted an important finding of the study, we came to the conclusion that it would be necessary to retest some of the low-grade defective patients with these points in mind. This seemed all the more desirable as it is widely assumed that mental defectives in general, and especially low-grade mental defectives, are grossly deficient in sensitivity to pain.

The earliest case of cutis verticis gyrata reported in the literature appears to have been that of Robert (1) in 1843. The following instances were observed by Auvert (2) in 1854 and subsequent cases were noted by Poggi (3) in 1884 and Lombroso (4) in 1890. In 1893, McDowall (5) and Cowan (6) recorded the first occurrence of this abnormal scalp development in association with a microcephalic mental defective, and since that case report several other authors such as Möller (7) in 1903 and Judassohn (8) in 1906, described similar instances. In 1907, Unna (9) presented three cases and coined the name cutis verticis gyrata. It is also known under additional terms such as “corrugated skin”, “bulldog scalp” and “pachydermie occipitale vorticillée”.

During recent years various tranquillizing drugs have been used therapeutically, namely, chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Largactil), reserpine (Serpasil), benactyzine hydrochloride (Suavitil) and hydroxyzine (Atarax) in mental disorders. Chlorpromazine and reserpine, though effective to a certain extent in mental disorders of the disturbed type, have the disadvantage of certain side-effects which have necessitated reduction and even cessation of the drugs, even when proving clinically efficacious.

This paper reports a double-blind type of clinical trial with hyperactive low-grade mental defectives. Chlorpromazine has previously been used with this group but a high incidence of toxic effects has been noted (McColl (1)). Reports on reserpine have been conflicting but a careful trial by Kirk and Bauer (2) reports the action of this drug if anything to be detrimental.

Sediments commonly contain organic material which appears as refractory carbonaceous material in metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. Grew and others have shown that relative carbon content, crystallite size, X-ray crystallinity and development of well-ordered graphite crystal structure of the carbonaceous material increases with increasing metamorphic grade. The graphitization process is irreversible and appears to be continous from the amorphous to the completely graphitized stage. The most dramatic chemical and crystallographic changes take place within the chlorite metamorphic zone.The detailed X-ray investigation of crystallite size and crystalline ordering is complex and can best be investigated by other means such as high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The natural graphitization series is similar to that for heat-treated commercial carbon blacks, which have been successfully studied by HRTEM (Ban and others).
