Transactions . lls of the epithelial cell layer there arediplobacilli. There is diffuse infiltration of a lesser degree ofthe subepithelial tissue by new cells, these cells being of the sametype as those found in the similar tissue in the region of thetarsal cartilage. In the limbus region in one eye (the tissue of the other eyewas imbeddedin paraffin and in separating the conjunctiva fromthe cornea the incision unfortunately was made at the this part of the tissue useless for study) along thegreater part of the upper half of the cornea the epithelial cellshave multiplied and formed ingrowths in the underlying subepi-thelial tissue. These epithelial ingrowths vary in size and mightbe spoken of as having a neck and branches, the neck being theregion near the surface, the branches being masses of cells lyingin the episcleral tissue (Figure 6). The drawing is typical ofwhat is found. The neck of these ingrowths has a long andshort diameter. In the ingfrowth shown in the drawine: at the. Fig-. 4.
