Descemet's membrane was irregularly thickened, the endothelium being composed for the most part of a single layer of cells which in places seemed to be increased to more than one. Over the excrescences the endothelial cells were recognizable only by their nuclei, which with pigment granules were crowded between closely packed warts. This description differs in some details from that of Vogt, whose specimen was neither clinically nor histologically so far advanced.

Glaucoma following some weeks after obstruction to the central vein and hemorrhage into the retina has been called hemorrhagic glaucoma. A case is reported seen at the time of venous obstruction and three months later with glaucoma, for which the left eye was enucleated. Six months later the other eye was affected and the patient treated for high blood pressure. The eye quickly improved and no glaucoma had occurred after more than a year.
