Pupils res]iond very sluggishly, are well 25 dilated. Both nerves show advanced optic atrophy followingchoked disc. The nerve heads are still swollen to a level ofG diopters (2 mm.) above the retinal level. The macularregions sliow no changes. The hernia had increased consid-erably in size. Death occurred Dec. 7, 1907. A large glioma was found inthe left temporal lobe, growing over the left cerebral peduncle(Fig. 3). The improvement in the condition seems to have been of aduration of months, but as she was not constantly under ob-servation the exact time is \ Fig. 3.—A large glioma occupied tlie greater part of the lefttempoi-al lobe and grew as a wedge-shaped process over the leftcerebral peduncle (indicated by the line). The left temporal lobewas much enlarged. Case 9.—History.—A. B., 42 years of age, consulted meJune 28, 190G. He had an enlargement of the skull on the leftside above and in front of the ear. He complained of weaknesson the right side of the body, slight ataxia, some motoraphasia, left-sided headache, some difficulty in reading, andfailure of memory. 26 Examination.—Dr. de Scbweinitz found no evidence of opticneuritis, but there was slight over-fulness of the retinalvessels. Treatment.—Decompression without opening the dura wasperformed, July 7, 1906. Almost complete disappearance ofsymptoms followed for about two months, and possibly theimprovement would have lasted longer if the dura had beenopened. A later oper
