    granulations when they have to do with so-called follicu- lar formations, which they designate as follicles or granulations. Others, again, regard granulations as papillary proliferations. Saemisch' considers the so-called trachoma granule as distinct from follicles as well as pro- liferated papillae. A large number of the older writers regarded the- trachoma follicle as a normal, a physiological formation : Krause,' Huguenin,' Frey, Hessling,' and Kleinschmidt.' More recent writers, among whom may be mentioned Saemisch and De Wecker, deny that follicles occur in true trachoma. On the other hand, a great number of most competent observers regard the follicle as the basis of trachoma: Decond6,' Bendz,* Stromeyer, Blumberg, Horner, and others. Again, regarding the nature and structure of the trachoma follicle, opinions are very divergent; some writers holding that the trachoma fol- licle is identical with the closed follicle of the intestine, ►and consists of a glandular formation with a closed en- veloping membrane: Henle, Stromeyer.
