Lateral ccl1 memlrrnnes were joined by numerous desmoson~~~ s which had prominent tonofibril attachments(t; ig. 7) No tight junctions were found at tile allical ends. The cytoplasm had a relatively electron tlcnsv matrix iti which keratofibrils were seen abundantl>.

Occasional cells, especially in t lie area of the clumping-s, were larger and contained inclusion bodies, which presumably were phag~ q&ed tlehris c Fig. 8).A thick Descrmct’s mcmhr:~ ne measuring about 30~ had formed between the litling cell of the anterior chamber and tile stromn(Fig. 5). This consisted of a thin (3~) porticul which was highl?

The thill Irortion of the Descrmet’s membrane was ulli TOI-m in thickness and consisted of coarse grancllal-substances which formed 100 nm spacings in sc\. eral locations(Fig. 9). The fine structural appearance of the membrane was identical to that of the atlterior portion of the Descemet’s membrane of an arltllt cornea. The abnormal collagen layer consistvtl of irregular layers of fine fibrils, short collagen fillers and basal lamina substance(Figs. 5 and 9).-4 thick basement membrane was formed beneath t11 (, cells. The fibrillar substance formed two kinds 01 bauded structures. One was made of aggregated short fibrils with a handing of 100 nm spaces, and the other was formed of longer (1-3~) fihril< with 30 mm spac-
