The anterior partof the aqueous chamber is shallow, the iris being drawn up close to thecornea, but the space between the iris and lens capsule is abnormallylarge. The retina is oedematous, and has become detached and throwninto numerous folds. The choroid is still in apposition with the specimen illustrates the difference between the process of healing in ascleral wound and in a corneal wound. In the former the edges retractand do not become approximated to each other as they do in the latter,and therefore the raw surfaces cannot unite by first intention. PLATE XIII.
