    On the day of admission the right eyeball with a cyst attached to the back of it was excised. Pathological examination.—Macroscopical appearances.— The eyeball measured only 8 mm. antero-posteriorly and 8 mm. laterally. In front was a small clear cornea, measuring 3 mm. laterally; and behind, the point of section of the optic nerve could be recognised. Attached by a broad pedicle to the lower and posterior part of the globe was a protuberance, the wall of which was con- tinuous with the sclerotic (Fig. ]). In front a deep sulcus separated this mass from the globe. Posteriorly the protuberant mass had been cut into in its removal, and it was seen to be a cyst filled with greyish lobulated contents. The cyst measured 17 mm. antero-posteriorly, and 8 mm. laterally. On section of the globe the cornea, though small, was seen to be of about the normal Fig. 1. thickness. The anterior chamber was well formed but shallow. The iris aud ciliary body, though small, were not absent in any part of their circumference. The interior of the globe behind the iris was almost entirely filled by the lens, which was spherical in shape,
