Pos-teriorly the direction of their axes is strictly radial to thecircumfei-ence of the globe ; anteriorly it is tilted a little,so that their apices point slightly forward. The projections are very heavily loaded with pigment,but in depigmented specimens it can be seen that theyconsist of outgrowths of the inner layers of the choroidalstroma (PI. XV^III, fig. 2). The tissue composing them ismore compact and moi-e richly cellular than that of thestroma generally, and does not show t
