ABSTRACT There is hardly an organ in which the distribution of the fine nerves can be so easily observed as in the cornea, thanks to the invaluable discovery of Cohnheim of staining the organ with chloride of gold. Since his publication, November, 1866, “On the Termination of the Sensory Nerves in the Cornea,” in ‘Virchow’s Archiv,’ vol. xxviii, a very great number of observations on the same subject have been published, all of which have been obtained by Cohnheim’s method of chloride of gold.
