while after. In this instance nothing 1 abnormal was noticed 
on the remaining portion of the bulb, the alterations being 
confined exclusively to the cornea. The opaque collection 
inci eased in dimensions in a week, and at the periphery of the i 
tiansparent coat fine bright stripes appeared and vanished. 1 
At the termination of the third week the whiteness on the 
left cornea had increased one mm., while that upon the right 
had markedly receded. In one month after the first observa¬ 
tion, the right cornea was clear and the left nearly so. 
Pi of. Bayer has had an opportunity to record three other 
cases which, he states, manifested the same course and ter- I 
mi nation. Each of these animals had been brought to the * 
clinic foi some disease other than that of the eye, and it was 
only by accident that the students discovered anything un- 
usual in the organ. One of the patients served as material 
foi a post-mortem. This subject when seen intra-vitam ex¬ 
hibited numerous plane facets in the affected region which 
were somewhat elevated. The examination of the eyes, un¬ 
dertaken by Croker, exposed a number of round cells in the 
parenchyma of the cornea ; these were scattered in the lamel- 
lm, and as collections occupied the whole thickness of the i 
membrane. Circumscribing the round cells is a ring of pur¬ 
plish stained bodies which might have been micrococci, the 
cornea being somewhat thicker at the point of invasion, Des- 
cement membrane exhibited no alteration. At the termina¬ 
tion of the pannus, or collection of sclerotic vessels upon the 
coinea, were cumulations of round cell which may be alluded 
to as an invasion of the same. At the limbus corneas, in the 
substance of the cornea, masses of decomposed protoplasma ; 
fiom this point the disease seemed to have propagated itself.
