Abstract: In 1949 Wall showed that

x = 0. d_{1} d_{2} d_{3} d o t s

is normal if and only if

(0. d_{n} d_{n + 1} d_{n + 2} d o t s)_{n}

is a uniformly distributed sequence. In this article, we consider sequences which are slight variants on this. In particular, we show that certain normal numbers of the form

0. a_{n} a_{n + 1} a_{n + 2} d o t s

, where

a_{n}

is a sequence of positive integers, give rise in a rather natural way to sequences which are not uniformly distributed. Motivated by a result of Davenport and ErdH{o}s we also show that for a non-constant integer polynomial the sequence

(0. f (n) f (n + 1) f (n + 2) d o t s)_{n}

is not uniformly distributed.
