 ocular, the pressure of the intraocular contents upon 

 the sclerotic. Abnormal increase of tension is char- 

 acteristic of glaucoma. Accurate measurement of 

 tension is made by means of instruments called tono- 

 meters ; for practical purposes it is estimated by palpa- 



tion with the fingers. The registration of tension is 

 indicated by the following terms : Tn. -= Tension 

 normal ; the varying degrees of subnormality by the 

 sign — , prefixed to the figures, I, 2, 3, the last denot 

 ing extreme flaccidity ; hypertension is indicated by 

 the sign -)-, prefixed to 1, 2, 3, the last indicating the 

 extreme hardness of the highest glaucomatous pressure.

 which occurs when muscles are passively stretched.
