Transactions . f. The patient has been seen at inter-vals for about nine years, during which time the myopia in theright increased from fourteen to sixteen dioptric, and in theleft, from twelve to eighteen. It is interesting to note, how-ever, that the growths became more and more pedunculated ; one, at last, was so movableas to be almost floating, andfinally all contracted more orless. On the 23d of May, 1894,I had an opportunity of ex-amining the patient, andfound that, in the right eye,two of the four tumors had disappeared entirely. The one ex-ternally had been reduced to a mere point about half a milli-meter in diameter, while the globular one below, hanging bya pedicle, measured two and one-half millimeters in the other eye, the two smaller points had disappeared, andthe one below measured only one and one-half millimeters indiameter.
