Exudation and absorption mechanisms of the normal conjunctival capillaries.

IT is still not clear how the cornea which has no vessels in its tissue is nourished, but the problem of the nutrition of tissue is closely related to the vascular structure, so that if we wish to solve the problemi of corneal nutrition we must examiine the constructioni and functionis in niormal anid abnormal situations of the finest conjunctival capillaries aIt the limbtis terminating in the end-capillaries. Following up this point, before entering uponl the study of the cornea, I examined the end-capillaries of the limbus in i,iwo with a slit lamp to discover their conistruction and function. A special eniquliry was made into the exudation and absorptioni mechanismus, and the results of these investigations are presented below.
