![amputation. It shows the enlargement of the extremity of the nerve in consequence of inflammation. 1039. A section of a nerve from the same stump, showing the nervous fibres passing into the enlarged portion, and ramifying or divaricating in it. 1040. The other section of the same nerve, showing more distinctly the divari- cation of the nervous fibres. 1041. Another nerve from the same stump, in which the above circumstances are still more clearly observable. A bristle is placed behind the diverging nervous fibres. 1042. Longitudinal sections of the ischiadic nerve of a gentleman, part of which lay within the substance of a bloody tumour. The nerve was discoloured at this part, and the nervous fibres separated from each other. 1043. A section of a nerve from a man’s leg, which had become much thickened in consequence of repeated inflammations. The nerve itself is much increased in size, but still the nervous fibres may be traced unaltered; which proves that the thickening has taken place in the uniting sub- stance only. [See Nos. 64 and 65, from the same individual.] 1044. Another section of the same nerve. Series XL. Diseases of the Eye. 1045. The optic nerves of a person who had a gutta serena in one eye. The nerve of the affected side is much wasted. [See also No. 680, showing the same circumstance.] 1046. A diseased human eye, which was filled with fluid. The retina has col- lapsed, so as to run in a straight line from the optic nerve to the cry- stalline lens. 1047- A human eye laid open, to show the retina collapsed, and adhering to the iris. 1048. The eye of a lady, which inflamed, suppurated, and burst; in consequence of which, the humours were lost, and the coats afterwards contracted. 1049. An eye of a blind man, where the retina was become bony in many places. [The sclerotic and choroid coats are laid open, and appear to be in a natural state.] 1050. “A diseased eye and eye-lid.” [The eye-ball is adherent to a membrane](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2200662x_0001_0106.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
