Transactions . hed cases to that date, 25 in number,but I have found three which escaped Dr. Andrews {Graefes Archives, xiv, 3, 285) Basedows case(^ArcJi. filr Aiigenheilkuiide u. Ohrenheilkiindc, III, 2, 180)and Kleinschmidts {Gaz. Hebdoniadaire, 1884). In 20 casesin which the age was given the average is 40 years. Vision isusually greatly reduced, but it may be unimpaired. In a veryfew cases where the disease has not involved the periphery ofthe iris it has been possible to save the eye by removing part of the iris, but enucleation is the usual resort. Inview of the infrequency of the affection I wish to place onrecord the following case : This case was under my observation only for one week, sothat the history is necessarily extremely meager, but it seemsto have been very uneventful. P. F., aged 50, a laborer, came to me May 14, 1896, sayingthat for about one year he had noticed a black spot upon the Fig. I. Sarcoma of Iris. Growth Seen in Section in Front of Fig. 2. Same as Fig. i but to Show-Exact ExtentOF Growth.
