Most of the members of the Society who saw the caseagreed that the appearances were produced by folds andopacity of the posterior capsule of the lens. (Fehniarij llfli, 1904.) 3. Maldevelopment of suspensory ligament of lens in both eyes. By R. Marcus Gunn. This patient came to Moorfields Eye Hospital recently,with visual difficulties indicating an error of refraction. Fig. After the use of atropine, the following condition wasfound in each eye :— There is evidently an ectopia lentis downwards. Theupper equator of the lens is visil)le ; instead of beingconvex, it presents an irregular, roughly horizontal edge,with one or two sharply pointed projections at each side of a projection, the edge of the lens slopessharply towards tlie centre, so as to leave a concavitybetween one prominence Jind tlic next: encli snch con-cavity resembles a colo))oma lentis.
