Abstract
This book was commissioned by the Belgian Ophthalmological Society and is an excellent review of what is known of the filtration angle in the normal human subject and in the various forms of glaucoma. It is written in French, but contains an excellent bibliography of the world's literature. It is of interest to note that the majority of these references are to authors in this country. The first chapter deals with the anatomy of the normal angle. In the next chapter, the importance of the canal of Schlemm is considered, and various theories on the outflow of aqueous are enumerated.

Chapter 3 deals with the technic of gonioscopy and chapter 4
