Collections of small round cells scattered throughout the uveal tract, the so-called uveitis maligna, were found in seven cases (Nos. 5, 6, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 22). Case 14 presented a very remarkable condition. There i was a large localised collection of blood in the tissue of the ms, on one side of the coloboma, which might be described as a hsematoma of the ms. Blood had also foimd its way from the cut surface of the iris, which was entangled in the wound, in between the tissue of the cornea and Descemet's membrane, stripping the latter up for a considerable distance, and forming a large clot between them (Figs. 7 and 8). In six cases (Nos, 3, 6, 7, 10, 14, and 20) there were haemorrhages in the retina. Cases whicli had been lost directly from haemorrhage following the operation have not been included in this paper. The two eyes upon which sclerotomy was performed, both developed a cystoid condition of the cicatrix. 1 Fio. 1.—Cjstoid cicatrix lined by atropLied iris in an eje lost from glaucoma following extraction of catamct. have examined niicroscopically several cystoid cicatrices, and 1 find they are always lined by more or less atrophied a '6
