The central retinal ves-sel which is cut at the papilla appears of normal size. Therelations of the nerve trunk to the growth are shown probablystill better in Fig. 6, which is a cross section of the nerve nearthe distal end of the portion attached to the globe. It occupiesa very nearly central position of the almost perfect oval, and itsinner sheath is intact though some fibres run towards and con- ^>;c:.
