The surface epitheHum is seen extending down into the subconjunctival tissue, but ceases at the surface of the sclera. From a photomicrograph taken by E^. Collier Green. Sections of a series of wounds made experimentally in the ocular conjunctiva at varying intervals, from 6 to 170 hours, have been examined microscopically.^ They show that the edges of the wound retract and expose the episcleral tissue. The epithelium at its margins turns in, some cells swelling up and degenerating. Usually hemorrhage occurs, ^ M. S. Mayou.
