The patient was a girl, 15 years old, Hviiig at or near Kyoto. 

 On March lOrli 1875, a \esicle-like protuberance formed itself, 

 without any assignable cause, on the white of the left eye, mid- wav 

 between the cornea and tlic outer angle. Tiirec days after, a j)hvsician, 

 Mr. Shingû, examined and found it to be id)out of the size of the tip 

 of little finger, soft and white, s(3mewhat resembling cod-ovarv in 

 appe:irance. In two hours, he observed an elongated mucaroni-like 

 body, which on being slowly pulled out was found to Ije a worm. 



The parasite (in spirit) has been tolerably well preserved. Length, 

 120 mm; breadth Ö- G mm. It is represented in fuj. 4, in natural size. 

 The hind end (the lower end in the figure) is not natural, having 

 been apparently torn in the fresh state. Near the head-end, the body 

 is broadened and terminates round, but with an invagination at the 

 apex. A nundjer of transversal and longitudinal rugie were found as 

 usual. On the greater part of the one surface, we notice<l the divi- 

 sion into three reoions bv two lon"-itudinal orooves as described in 

 the worm of Case III. For some distance there was also a distinct 

 median groove in the nu'ddle region. The sj)ecimen was cut into 

 sections (Figs. 6 <0 6'), of which we shall have to speak later on.
