These lines arethe edges of planes or septa within the lensdiverging from the axis, and receiving the endsof the lens-fibres, which here abut against oneanother. As Tweedy has pointed out, they maybe seen, by the aid of the ophthalmoscope, evenduring life. The rays seldom meet at a point,but usually along a somewhat irregular line —When the lens has been hardened and the capsuleremoved, a succession of concentric laminae may be detached from itlike the coats from an onion. They are not continuous, but separatei
