Right eye was quite good until six months ago. Sincethen she has had gradual failure of this eye, and now -^ only. The whole posterior part of the fundusshows evidence of pigmentary degenerative changesin the choroid extending from the macula towards theperiphery. The larger choroidal vessels are clearlyvisible over the affected area. At the periphery there isa distinct zigzag line of demarcation between healthy andaffected tissue. The pigmentary layer of retina has beenabsorbed, but the rest of the retina remains intact. There is no history of acquired or inherited syphilis. Beyond slight anaemia no cause for the affection can beascertained. Is this a true choroiditis accompanied at the beginningby inflammatory deposit, or is it only a degenerative pig-mentary change ? {Lwing specimen. May bth, 1887.) 5. Enor
