    similar to the tunica conjunctiva, but thicker: it is laid open behind, and part of the retina is exposed, but most of the contents appear to have been lost. Part of the optic nerve has been preserved. This pre- paration is quite unintelligible without its history; and it is almost im- possible to guess at the nature of the disease or accident which has produced such a singular state of the parts.] 1051. A cataract, extracted by Baron Wenzel. 1052. Two cataracts, removed from the eyes of a lady. 1053. The eye of a deer, from which Mr. Hunter extracted the crystalline lens. 1054.

An exostosis or bony excrescence from the alveoli of the upper jaw of a lady. It was pinched off. The point of its attachment is marked by a bristle. 1059. A molaris of the lower jaw that had been formed in the gum ; being com- pletely out of the jaw. It was loose, therefore it was drawn, and proved to be a tooth not fully grown. 1060. A section of a bicuspis tooth considerably decayed. The decayed part is distinguished by its colour. The disease had not yet extended to the cavity: the latter is marked by red injection. 1061. A section of a decayed molar tooth, in which the disease had extended quite into the cavity. 1062. The stump of a decayed tooth, on the end of which is seen the pulp. 1063. A molar tooth which was extracted on account of incipient disease in it. One of the fangs is broken, and the pulp which was brought away along with it, is seen hanging out of the broken end. 1064. An excrescence from the fang of a decayed tooth. 1065. A section of a decayed tooth with a small fungus arising from its cavity. 1066. The stump of a tooth to show a fungus growing from its periosteum.
