4. On the Pathology of Keratitis Punctata Superficialis.

5. On Ulcus Rodens. 6. On Retinitis Centralis. One of the greatest contributions that

Professor Asayama has made to oph-tholmology in Japan has been the fact that he gathered around him a group of

earnest students, who quickly caught the spirit of their great teacher, and who are now counted among the leaders that are advancing ophthalmology in Japan by scientific methods and research. In point of history, he came just a little later than Professor Komoto of Tokyo, and in a true sense shared with him in establish­ing the specialty of ophthalmology on such a high plane in Japan. No greater tribute can be paid to him than to state that among his former students may now be counted many Professors or As­sociate Professors of Ophthalmology in Japanese medical schools, of whom

should be mentioned Professor Ichikawa of Kyoto Imperial University; Profes­sor B. Koyanagi of Tohoku Imperial University; Professor S. Suganuma of Keio University Medical College, Tokyo, and Professor Y. Matsuoka of Nagas­aki Medical College.

He became an M. D. at Jefferson Medical College in 1888, and began prac­tice of the specialty of ophthalmology in the same year. Dr. Gould was Ophthal­mologist at the Philadelphia Almshouse in 1892-4. He was editor of the Medical News 1891-1895; Philadelphia Medical Journal 1898-1900 and American Medi­cine 1901. Dr. Gould was a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadel­phia; member of American Ophthalmo-logical Society and President of the American Academy of Medicine in 1895. He was a speaker of the Congress of Arts and Sciences at the St. Louis Ex­position in 1904. He received the first Doyne Medal of the Ophthalmological Congress at Oxford England.

Dr. Gould was internationally known as an author of medical and ophthalmo-logic works. He came to Atlantic City more than ten years ago in search of health, and as a haven of rest from more than twenty-five years of literary work. Among his works "Anomalies

Pereyra. Retinal Hemorrhages from Malaria. Arch, di Ott., 1922, v. 29, p. 49-78.

In a review of the literature on this subject, the author mentions various ocular changes which malaria can produce in the eye. Among these are three types of corneal affection, den­dritic, herpetic and interstitial kerati-tis, all of which may be due to malaria. Conjunctivitis, iritis and choroiditis may also occur in cases of malaria. The nerve may also show a number of changes, the most common of which are: 1, simple hyperemia; 2, papillitis; 3, re-trobulbar neuritis; 4, acute endocular neuritis; 5, neuroretinitis; 6, atrophy, which in all cases is secondary to an in­flammatory process.

The retina may show pigmented changes, the result of chorio retinitis and endarteritis of small vessels, and may even be ruptured by pathologic ad­hesions between the retina and vitreous. The author is especially interested in retinal hemorrhages, on account of hav­ing seen a number of cases and having opportunity to examine the eyes of one

His illustrated Dictionary of Medicine, Biology and Allied Sciences first ap­peared in 1894. Upon it were based the Students' Medical Dictionary, the Prac­titioners' Medical Dictionary, the Dic­tionary of New Medical terms and the Pocket Pronouncing Medical Lexicon. In ten years after the appearance of the first of these, 166,000 copies of his dictionaries had been sold. Of books ad­dressed to readers outside the medical profession, he published "Boderland Studies," 1897; "Biographic Clinics," 6 vols., 1904-08; "Concerning Lafcadio Hearn," 1908; "The Infinite Presence," 1910; and "The Life and Letters of E. C. Stedman," (in collaboration) 1910. He was a man of varied interests with a broad point of view and a thoro writer.

at postmortem. He examined three cases in which the retinal hemorrhages were in a fresh stage, and was able to fol­low them during absorption. One case died of pneumonia during observation. Two more cases were seen some time after the active trouble had subsided.

The three active cases showed lesions quite similar in type. Each had rather large hemorrhages involving the upper half of the macular region, but not in­cluding the fovea, so that central vision was fairly well maintained. These were all of the superficial type, apparently pushing forward the internal limit of the membrane of the retina slightly, and be­ing concave above and convex below. In several eyes there were two or more of these rather large hemorrhages. In all cases they absorbed rather completely al-tho somewhat slowly, and good central vision was regained in all but the case which died. Yellowish spots, with a slight amount of pigment around the border, remained from the hemor­rhages that had absorbed. In the two old cases, areas of depigmenta-tion marked the site of former
