    EOTEOPION. A CASE OF ECTEOPION SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY TEANSPLANTATION OF SKIN PEOM THE ARM. At a meeting of the South-Western Branch of the British Medical Association, held at Exeter on October 5, 1881, I showed a patient from whose arm and forearm I had removed large pieces of skin on July 28th, 1881, transplant- ing them to his left upper and lower eyelids respectively. The operation has proved so successful that I propose to describe the case somewhat in detail, and I have the more reason for doing so because the operation in question appears to have been but rarely performed in this country. This is the more to be regretted because there are many cases of deformity and contraction where a similar transplantation operation offers the best hope of a successful issue.
