The Devereux Short Form and the standard WISC were administered in counterbalanced order to 26 mentally retarded children. Neither form of test nor order of administration resulted in significant differences in IQ scores. The correlation between the administered short form and the standard WISC was significant. Results were interpreted as further demonstration of the usefulness of this short form with retarded children.

The complete WISC protocols of 100 mentally retarded children were rescored according to two selected subtest and two selected item short form methodologies and then compared for their correspondence to the standard form. High correlations between all short and standard forms were obtained. However, when mean differences between the standard and short form IQs were examined, less encouraging results were found. Furthermore, a relatively high percentage of individuals changed IQ classification level when the abbreviated forms were used. Such results indicated that reliance on short forms for the educational disposition of mentally retarded individuals is questionable. A new short form was then devised and cross validated. This new form, the Devereux Short Form, not only satisfied the criteria, but also provided a 40% saving in administration time and allowed for scatter analysis.

Non adrenergic, non cholinergic excitatory postganglionic fibers in the splanchnic nerves supply the small intestine of the toad (Bufo marinus) and the lizard (Tiliqua rugosa). 5 Hydroxytryptamine, histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandin E1 were rejected as the putative neurotransmitters in these nerves on the grounds that they do not have actions which parallel those of nerve stimulation or that drugs which antagonize their effects do not similarly antagonize the effects of nerve stimulation. ATP produces excitatory responses, which closely mimic those of non adrenergic, non cholinergic nerve stimulation. Quinidine causes parallel block of the responses to nerve stimulation and exogenously applied ATP, but this action may be non specific. While the results do not provide direct evidence for purinergic excitatory nerves to the small intestine of lower vertebrates, they are consistent with the hypothesis.
