Abstract
The skin of the lower lid is found to be the source of contamination of the conjunctiva, for staphylococci are constantly being transferred from it to the lower lashes by the over-lapping of the upper lash in nictitation, and thence to the conjunctiva. The author excludes the route by way of the naso-lacrimal passage. From the Department of Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Research Laboratories of the State Department of Public Health and The Chicago Medical School.
