Careful examination of the irides showed that, with the ex-ception of a slight response of the left iris to very strong light-stimulus, there was no reaction directly or consensually tolight, accommodation, and convergence. The eyeballs werefreely mobile in all directions, though when fixation was carriedoutwardly, either to the extreme right or to the extreme left, aseries of horizontal oscillatory movements, that continued aslong as the effort at fixation could be maintained, were con-stantly induced. The symptoms remained unchanged until about a week later,when several slight attacks of vomiting appeared, and urinaryincontinence — possibly mostly the result of deficient cerebra-tion — ensued.

These symptoms be-came progressively worse, until, one month later, pulmonicoedema put an end to his life. ThQpost-mortem examination failed to evidence any disturb-ance of the trunkal viscera, except a slight interstitial nephritiswith the appearance of a few small cysts upon the surface ofthe right kidney. The calvarium was of its ordinary thickness, and there wasa rather superficial exostosis in the external table of the occi-pital bone. The cerebral meninges were normal. Beneaththe under surface of the cerebellum there was an oblong tumorabout 5^- centimeters in length, and 2^ centimeters in breadthat its widest part.
