86 MICROSCOPY OF THE LIVING EYE 



chosen to convey a fairly representative idea of the general scope 

 of slit-lamp examination of the living eye. I am indebted to the 

 Ophthalmological Society of the United Kingdom and to the 

 Editors of the British Journal of Ophthalmology for permission 

 to reproduce some of the figures which have accompanied com- 

 munications previously published as quoted in the references 

 below. Figs. 44, 45, 46, 48, 49 and 50 have been kindly drawn for 

 me by Messrs. Theodore Hamblin, Ltd., from my own clinical 

 cases, except the case of Fig. 48, which is of a patient who was 

 under the consecutive care of Mr. Ransom Pickard and of Mr.

Foster Moore and to whom I had access when she was in Moor- 

 fields Eye Hospital : it is here made use of with their kind per- 

 mission. I am indebted to Messrs. Carl Zeiss for Figs. 8, 9 and 12. 

 Some of the pictorial living processes seen so strikingly in slit- 

 lamp microscopy of the living eye, such as the pupil-contractions, 

 the circulation of the blood-cells in vessels, their inflammatory 

 exudation and deposit, and many other features, might well be 

 made a subject of demonstration in the curriculum of all medical 

 students.
