    tion of tears is not produced. The statement that after extirpation of the sac an atrophy of the gland follows has yet to be proved. Axenfeld and Bietti' have shown that in the normal gland microscopic indications of atrophic changes, as fat tissue and granules, are present. They examined sections of glands from numerous cases where the sac had been previously excised without finding further evidence of degenerative change. Should tears persist to secrete the difficulty can be readily overcome by the simple operation of excising the accessory lachrymal gland, a procedure which is never followed by any untoward results. In conclusion, I should like to express my thanks to Professor Axenfeld of Freiburg for the opportunities I enjoyed while working in his clinic, as well as for the many personal kindnesses he extended to me. I should also like to record my appreciation of the kindness of Drs. J. VV. Stirling and W. G. M. Byers, my seniors in the service at the Royal Victoria Hospital, for kindly placing their clinical material at my disposal, as well as for the hearty co-operation and encouragement they have shown me in my work.
