Less extensive adhesions, such, for example, as are pro-duced by burns or cauterization of the lower transitionalfold and adjoining palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, arebest removed by the method of von Arlt, as shown inPlate 26. In this case the parts had been converted intoan extensive eschar by the burning of the molten iron(Plate 25, Fig. 2), and this had been followed by cicatri-cial adhesion between the eyelid and the globe, extendingas for as the cornea (Plate 26, Fig.
