The htat subject on which I shall touch, is hemorrhage from the eyeball, afier the extraction of cataract. This distressing occurrence has pre sented itself twice in my practice - each time in St. Mary's Hospital.
Cass 1.-on June 13th, 1855, I performed ex traction on the right eye of Mrs. B aged sev enty, who had long attended as an outpatient. Each eye presented a hard, amber-coloured cat met. The globes were hard and rather prominent, anterior chamber full; irides natural in colour; pupils ordinarily motionless but dilating under atropine. She could distinguish light from dark ness, and the shadow of a hand. Some years previously she had su?'ered from deep-seated pain m the eyeballs, with muses; and had long been teased with irregular gout.
