V., R. -j-j H.m., 0. 75, not improv'od; L. H.ni., 0. 75, not improved. Seen repeatedly since, and no change; carefully examined by Mr. Ogilvie on March Gth, 1900, K. 1%, L. ; teeth very good, enamel perfect. Four children. VI (31) Annie Kimber, ad. 29 years. Seen March 23rd, 1906. Makes no complaint of her sight, though V. of 11. is only g-jj- and of L. .fj; refraction II. As., but no opportunity of working it out yet. Central symmeti-ical cataracts so very faint that they might easily be over- looked, the fundus being easily seen in all its fine details through the o|)acity ; no stippling or granular appear- ance ; the opacity aj)])ears simply as a flat circular disc of homogeneous haze ; in size ami ])crfect regularity of out- line they are like the ty])c. There are also a few jieriphenil smudges of opacity. Teeth veiy good ; one child only. AMI (8) Annie Kimber, mt. 10 years. A^., R. H. As. not worked out.
