It was attached to the sclerotic, about the size of a small filbert, reaching forward to the insertion of the iris, and backward beyond the median line. It touched the back of the lens, pressing forward the ciliary muscle and processes. The sclerotic lying against it was per- fect. It occupied the place of the choroid, pushing the retina inward on its surface. The rest of the globe and optic nerve seemed perfectly normal. The microscope showed it to be a fusiformed-cell white sarcoma, such as Knapp gives in Tab. XII., Figs. 50-53, in his monograph on intra ocular tumors.
