Measures of induced cyclotorsion made with two stereoscopic configurations and appropriate associated adjustment criterion are compared with measures obtained with "Volkmann's discs." Individual data for 15 Os are given and some implications of observed individual variations in response and inconsistencies in the stereoscopic measures for stereoscopic depth perception are discussed.
