During the earlier studies we made careful notes on the appearance of each lesion, in particular those of retinal arteries, so that we were able in this reexamination a decade later to note the changes in the lesion that had taken place over the years. The present report deals with the results of such examinations.

In our first paper we saw a need for careful evaluation of the various degrees of arteriovenous nicking. Prior to this time, we could find no report that the lesion varied in
