Abstract
Contrary to a previous writer we have not been able to find a definite relationship between the intraocular tension and the suprarenal glands in his sence; otherwise expressed, the intraocular pressure did not undergo any diminution by removing the suprarenal glands in rabbits or the suprarenal medulla in a cat. These animals survived well the operation, a common matter.
It may be further added: In some cats the suprarenal glands were removed, without further special treatment. The intraocular tension was found to diminish gradually, and in fact in parallel with the development of general weakness.
