![[Reprinted from the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital Reports, Vol. XIII, Part 1.] NOTES ON GLIOMA RETINJi, WITH A REPORT OF 60 CASES. By J. B. Lawfoed, Assistant Surgeon to the Hospital; and E. Treacher Collins, Curator of the Museum. The enquiry, the results of which are embodied in this report, was undertaken chiefly for the purpose of ascer- taining, whenever possible, the after-history of cases of glioma of the retina. In this we have been only partially successful, the migratory habits of that class from which the majority of hospital patients are derived, leading to the frequent failure of any attempt to trace the patients or their relatives, for more than a few months after they left the hospital. We append a tabular statement of the cases. Of the total number (60 patients, 66 eyes), 55 were cases in the Hospital during the years 1871 to 1890. For notes of four of the other five cases we are indebted to Messrs. Marcus Gunn, Stanford Morton, and Jessop (London), and Mr. J. Elliott Square (Plymouth). The remaining case was under the care of one of the writers. Several of the earlier cases have been already reported by Nettleship and Brailey in the Ophthalmic Hospital Keports; we have included them in our list because in some instances the further history of the patient has been obtained, and because they add to the statistical value of our paper. Reference to the tables will show the points upon which we have endeavoured to gain information, but many of the cases are necessarily incomplete. The follow- ing summary of remarks upon the cases may prove of some interest. We have carefully searched the literature](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21649728_0004.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
