    This paper was read at the Harveian Society during the current session. I was requested by- some of the members present to print it. I have done so, in the hope that it may be serviceable in drawing attention to some of the practical uses of the ophthalmoscope ; and especially to the im- portance and facility of diagnosing and treating the early stages of those deep-seated diseases of the eye which commonly manifest themselves at the outset by shortness of sight or dim sight, and are often overlooked for years, until they become incurable, and end in amaurosis. I have been careful to give the general as well as the ophthal- moscopic symptoms. E. H. 69, Wimpole Street, Cavendish Square.
