The globes of two of them (a boy and a girl) were smaller than natural, and in the boy in addition were flattened by the action of the recti muscles and were soft; the sclera were very vascular and the cornea, conical, the irides dull, thin, and tremulous; the pupils were not in the axis of vision, but were to the nasal side.

The elder sister had the same congenital condition, but to a lesser degree.

The other boy in the family had a total absence of irides, but he could see fairly well with the left eye.
Anomalies of the Ears .-- Bilateral absence of the external ears is quite rare, although there is a species of sheep, native of China, called the "Yungti," in which this anomaly is constant.

Bartholinus, Lycosthenes, Pare, Schenck, and Oberteuffer have remarked on deficient external ears.

Guys, the celebrated Marseilles litterateur of the eighteenth century, was born with only one ear.
