Although I have had no opportunity to try it, the lamp shown onnext page (Fig. 3), and recently introduced by C. W. Isaac, of London,^seems to present many advantages by doing away with all shadows. Itconsists of a small incandescent lamp so adjusted that the arch of thefilament is as nearly as possible coincident with the focal point of a small,silvered, parabolic reflector one inch in diameter at its mouth. Thereflector is pierced to admit the lamp, and mounted upon the extremit}^of a metal tube ; in the tube slides a cylindiical block of ebonite, whichserves as a carrier for the lamp; it can be fixed in any position by a • British Medical Journal, December 31,1892.
