Hewas kept under constant observation all the while, when,about March, 1902, the right eye began to show a focusof infiltration about the limbus at a point correspondingto the inner canthus. On May 5, 1902, an excision of theconjunctiva surrounding that focus was performed and thespecimen microscopically examined showed to be formed SKIN DISEASES 285 principally of epithelial tissue without appearance of malig-nancy; however, some irritation was noticeable. Some, months after, the cornea of the left eye beingentirely involved in the infiltration, which extended also tothe bulbar conjunctiva, I deemed a new surgical interven-tion to be necessary. So on July 20,1902,1 exenterated theleft orbit, removing all the bulbar and also some of the Fig. Xeroderma pigmentosum after ray had removed a number of cancer lesions. palpebral conjunctiva; then transplanted a large piece ofskin from the arm, stitched it to what upper and lowerpalpebral conjunctiva had been left in place so to makepossible the wearing of an artificial eye, which the patientnow comfortably does. No repetition of the growth hasbeen seen so far. The content of the orbit was duly exam-ined in the pathological department of the New York Eye 286 RADIOTHERAPY and Ear Infirmary, and the diagnosis of epithelioma of thelimbus microscopically confirmed. The right eye begins to show signs of at the place where excision of the conjunctivawas made in May, 1902; the corresponding section of thelimbus and cornea are involved in the process, while amarked irritation surr
