The inftances of ophthalmia, which have lately occured, have been uncom2 monly numerous. This may probably be attributed to the long continuance of east and north-eaft winds. This difeafe has been diftinguished by nofologists ac3 cording to the part of the eye which has 5 been the feat of it, or according to the remote caufes by which it has been produced. It has fometimes its feat in the membranes of the eye, when it has been denominated ophthalmia membranarum : when it has appeared chiefly on the edges of the eye-lids it has been termed ophthalmia tarfi.
