Hg and a delayed appearance of fluorescein in the anterior chamber after I.V. injection. In some other rabbits with hereditary buphthalmia elevated ocular pressures and a delayed appearance of fluorescein were noted.6,8Greaves and Perkins9observed a prolonged retention of Evans blue dye after it was injected into the anterior chamber of two rabbits with buphthalmia and were unable to find the aqueous veins in those eyes. Histologic sections of such eyes5revealed fibrosis of the angle. These findings indicated a decreased rate of aqueous out-flow in buphthalmic rabbits. If the aqueous outflow rate of such
