With the report of three cases this paper discusses eosinophilia, present in all; the primary lesion, observed in two of these cases and the causative organism, apparently the filamentous organism described by Verhoeff, which was found in two of the present cases. From the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College.

Diseases of the Meibomian gland have received little systematic attention. After a brief historic introduction this paper describes and gives illustrative cases of simple hypersecretion, simple chronic inflammation, chronic Meibomitis with hypertrophy, chronic Meibomitis with chalazia, chronic conditions secondary to chronic conjunctivitis, especially trachoma, and chronic Meibomitis with concretions. This paper from the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College was read at a meeting of the Sioux Valley Eye and Ear Academy in Sioux City, January, 1921.

This is the report of three new cases of this condition with an account of reexamination of cases previously reported. It emphasizes the coincident occurrence of endothelial changes. It seems likely that both surfaces are affected by a common cause which may affect either one alone or both together. Two cases are also reported like those published by Graves, with dew like opacities scattered over the endothelial surface, which have escaped notice prior to slit lamp investigation. Plate 2 shows appearances in the first two cases.

Seven cases of this condition are here reported, three of them observed from nine to eighteen years and others probably of long duration. The review of the literature is brought up to date and these points emphasized: The condition often begins in early life; not associated with arcus senilis; Rupture of cornea may occur spontaneously or with slight force; incisions in such corneas are dangerous and should be covered with conjunctival flap. The treatment is generally careful correction of the high inverse astigmatism. From the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College.

This paper reports the bacteriologic examination of material obtained from 65 patients. The studies were made in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Bacteriology, University of Nebraska, College of Medicine. The mechanical factors tending to cause an influence to meibomitis are also pointed out, and the literature of the bacteriology of the Meibomian glands is reviewed.

The eye of a child of three months was enucleated for suspected glioma. A yellowish reflex had been noted in the pupil soon after birth and there had been no inflammation. The posterior surface of the lens was covered by dense gray mass. Two other cases are reported in which less dense opacities were studied with slit lamp microscopy. The report is made from the Departments of Ophthalmology and Anatomy, University of Nebraska Medical College.

This method of coloring the cornea instead of tattooing it was suggested by P. Knapp, who used solutions of gold chlorid applied to the corneal scar denuded of its epithelium. This method and a similar use of solutions of silver nitrate have been studied by experiment and clinically in the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College. Four cases are reported.

This case adds one to those recorded in which marked eosinophilia was present and also to those in which no causative microorganism was found. Cases classed under this heading are divided into four groups which appear as to etiology. Studied in the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College.

The authors find no sharp line between typical brown cataract and ordinary nuclear sclerosis. No free tyrosine or tyrosinase was found in normal or cataractous lenses, buta ferment capable of oxidizing dopa to melanin occurs in the cataractous lens, greater in quantity in the brown type and in nuclear sclerosis. From the Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Medical School. Read before the Association for Research in Ophthalmology, in Milwaukee, June 13, 1933.

The lesion here described occurred in a man who gave a history of trauma and had a positive Wassermann reaction. The case is reported from the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Nebraska Medical College. See plate V facing p. 425.
