Transactions . eball had gradually become moreprominent. No pain; no discomfort. Status Prossens.—Right eye as before.

There was quite marked evidence ofvenous congestion present in the tissues of the orbit andeyelids. Headache this morning, but not before for vears. 14 209 210 Weeks: Endothelial Sarcoma of the OrUt. Transillumination of accessory sinuses negative. X-rayskiagraphs were taken by Dr. Caldwell. These showed ashadow which apparently indicated a hard mass, possiblybony projecting into the orbit, involving and projectmg fromthe greater wing of the sphenoid and the outer margm of theorbital plate of the frontal bone, extending from the apextwo-thirds of the distance forward toward the margm ot theorbit.
