TUBERCULOSIS OF THE CHOROID present fluffy masses on the anterior surface of the collarette.Septic teeth were found and, after extraction of these, the irido-cyclitis cleared up completely under treatment.Extraction of the now mature cataract was contemplated but on examination with the slit-lamp microscope, the lens was found to be tremulous.The iris was not tremulous so that there was no dislocation of the lens; the tremulousness of the lens, however, was of the same quality as that of a tremulous iris; on the slightest movement of the eyes, the lens trembled as if it were suspended on an elastic string.
