Two liveborn triploid infants are described. The phenotype agrees, in the first case, with that reported in the other observations of the literature. In the second case, hydranencephaly was associated with ambiguous genitalia. Cytogenetic studies, made on cultivated leucocytes, showed triploid number of morphologically normal chromosomes; and constitution 69, XXY in the first case.
