Koch-Weeks bacillus. No. 3, Table IV. Xerosis bacillus. 
In catarrhal ophthalmia with some small granulations on the upper lid, Koch- 
Weeks bacillus is almost a constant factor in the discharge. 
A glance at the table will show that out of a series of twenty observations Koch- 
Weeks bacillus occurred in fourteen in the discharge, and was doubtful in a fifteenth. 
The first five cases are from a series of six which were left for a month without 
treatment, to see if residence in the country with plenty of fresh air and good food 
had any influence in causing the disappearance of the small miliary granules. 
It was then found that instead of having diminished in size, the granules had 
undergone a very appreciable enlargement, and the whole of the upper palpebral
