title: Probable Pendred syndrome on Goodenough Island.
abstract: A large kindred from Bwaidoga village in south-eastern Goodenough Island is described, in which occur several cases of what appear to be the Pendred syndrome: deafness associated with goitre. It is possible that deviations from the more usual pattern of the syndrome may be due to its having arisen from a spontaneous mutation, not identical with the mutation seen elsewhere.
