FILARIA CAPILLOSA OR OCULI. 
By M. Feanois. 
A case of the above fell under my notice recently with the 
following history: 
About two or three months ago a small white worm was no¬ 
ticed in the anterior chamber of the left eye of a small bay geld¬ 
ing of good breeding, used for livery purposes. The worm was 
small when first.noticed, but has grown steadily until, at present, 
it is three or four inches long and is in constant motion. The 
eye at present is bluish white or milky color, so that the anatomical 
features of the worm as mentioned in GresswelPs Practice of 
Equine Medicine, page 343, are not readily discerned. The horse 
seems to suffer no pain, but the vision is greatly impaired.
