The tumor was something over half an inch in length, reaching farther forward than the ophthalmoscope showed. Its thickness was about one third of its length. Section of the tumor showed it to be non-vascular, yellowish white, homoge- neous, pretty firm, distinct from the sclerotic, occupying the space and place of the choroid, up to but not involving the nerve. A layer of retina with pigment, or a layer of choroidal pigment, peeled off the surface of the tumor. Under the microscope it was found to be spindle-cell, and round, and ovoid white sarcoma. The cells as broad and three times the length of a blood-corpuscle. There was no pigment. For quite similar case, vide Knapp, “ Intra-ocular Tumors,” Tab. XIII., Fig. 58.
