    EXAMINATION. By G. E. De SCHWEINITZ, A.M., M.D., AND E. A. SHUMWAY, M.D., Philadelphia, Pa. As is well known, the first case of ophthalmia nodosa, a name suggested by Saemisch, was described by Pagenstecher' in 1883 before the Heidelberg Ophthalmological Society. Since this time numerous cases have been reported, in many of which posi- ■ tive proof has been given that the condition was caused by irri- itation of the hairs of certain species of caterpillar, which had I found lodgment in the conjunctiva, cornea, or iris. We are I particularly indebted for studies of this subject to Baas, Wagen- rmann, Hillemanns, Kriiger, Hanke, Lawford, Stargardt, ''and (Others, and a complete analysis of the literature of this subject in ccondensed manner will be found in the works of Ginsberg,^ 'Greeff,^' and J. Herbert Parsons.* It does not seem, therefore, necessary to do more than mention these authors, in whose writ- ings full bibliography will be found. In our own country we have not noted the reports of many examples of this affection, ^although George Knapps has described three cases, and Colburn one case. Our own case is as follows: ' Klin.
