    PLATE NO. XIIIa Drawing of the cornea in the acute stage of severe burning. This corresponds with Plate No. XIa. The exposed central area shows grey haze and loss of lustre on its stippled surface, which gradually fades off to the bright lustrous normal surface in the part above that has been protected by the eyelid. Injection of the conjunctival vessels is seen only in relation to this upper and less burned area. Pia is NO ache Drawing of cornea in the stage of resolution after severe burning. The cornea is now smooth and bright with a clear light reflex on its surface. But some grey superficial nebulae are seen in the centre, and these may persist for several weeks. The injection of the conjunctival vessels is now limited to the central band.
