By Dr. Mac Munn. Sp. G. 1006. Opalescent with heat and acetic acid. nitric acid. Violet when boiled with Tehling (albumen). Chlorides abundant. Sulphates present. Spectroscopically. No bands except faint traces of oxyhoemoglobin due to accidental presence of blood and traces of serolutein. Note A. The absence of sugar in these cases has been made a point but- according to Hoppe-Seyler sugar is not a normal constituent of cerebro-spinal fluid but is due to irritation of the brain or cord. Note B. Exception may be taken by some, to the inclusion of cerebro-spinal fluid under the term nLympb. By Lymph we understand the ' fluid contained in the lymphatic vessels as well as the liquid found in the extra-vascular spaces, such as the lacuna of connective tissue or the interior of the great serous sacs, from which the lymphatics originate or communicate. In-as-much as divers organs posess different separative power, so lymph varies materially in composition, according to the regioh from whence it is derived, thus, whilst lymph coagulates, as a rule, into a soft trembling jelly Ludwigi) points out, what some of the above cases fully substantiate, that „some lymph does not coagu- late at all but is identical in appearance and composition witn cerebro-spinal fluid, the fibrin or coagulating substance being due to its further elaboration in the glands. The Lymphatic diseases of the interior of the eyeball. The lymphatic diseases of the interior of the eyeball are ana- logous to the dropsies of the serous sacs and are usually associa- ted with the glaucomatous state, increased tension being the earliest evidence of lymphatic stasis. The lymph streams of the vitreous chamber have been investigated by many observers, notably Stil- ling, Deutschmann, Schick, Leplat, Ann. d'oc. 1887 p. 75, and Priestley Smith, Oph. Rev. vol. VII.
