The most pronounced of these folds are, I find, at the ora serrata, which at one time is actually in contact with the posterior and lateral part of the lens capsule. It then acquires adhesions to this latter, and, on the fm-ther development of the eye, when the retina has become expanded and flattened out by the enlargement of the globe and the growth of the vitreous, these adhesions become much stretched and elongated, forming thus the hindermost attaclnnent of the suspensory ligament. Figs. 1 and 2 show some of the Fia. 1. stages in the development of a fibre of the suspensory ligament. In Fig. 1 an adhesion, passing from a ciliary process to the capsule of the lens, composed entirely of spindle-shaped cells is represented. In Fig. 2 several fibres are seen exactly like those foimd in ihe normal adult eye, with the exception that every here and there
