Fig. 2. Section of an eye in which the dis-ease spreads from the sheath and substance ofthe nerve through one side of the sclerotic tunicalmost as far as the cornea. It forms a broadand compact mass of a yellow color. On theopposite side this tunic is unaltered. Thechoroid adjoining the tumor of the scleroticahas undergone a similar change, being of a deepclaret color, equally dense in structure, and abouthalf the breadth of the diseased sclerotica with PLATE IV.
