The figures which the flickering formed in these experiments were called flickering roses, because the form of the rose was the type; in the first experiment there were round spots in the field of vision, the space circumscribed by four deep oval lines forming four large convex indentations, and the waves of light and shade surrounding this exhibited the same form only less indented; the flickering figures which appeared on the second day, and which reached their highest point on the third day, were surrounded by curved lines with five indentations, but more superficial, which were again surrounded by enlarging waves of light and shade with superficial indentations; during the latter days when the flickering decreased, there were noticed only fragments with the rose formation on the side, like the small segment of the larger and more superficially indentated circle. Flickering before the left eye, very slight, but therewith he was unable to recognize a distinct conformation in the division between light and shade; it seemed as though with every wink of the eye the crystalline lens trembled, and there by altered refraction, producing rapid commingling of the lights and shadows of objects (second day); on the next day the flickering was more noticeable, and not only on winking, but as often as he looked from the light portion go the field of vision (as for example the fireplace) to a dark portion; this caused the supposition that it was not a mechanical effect, as he was at first inclined to think, but was due to a sudden change from light to shade; he now directed the eye to the bright sky, and suddenly covered the head without closing the eye or moving it in the slightest, when the flickering was noticed quite as distinctly as before; on the succeeding day this was more noticed in the right eye; repeated observations, sharpened the vision, and he was able to distinguish a definite conformation; there seemed to be in the middle of the visual field an alternately disappearing and reappearing roundish spot of a mild light, and about this several concentric waves of light and shade in similar motion; this flickering continued during the use of Digitalis, for some days (7);at last it intermitted and appeared for only a short time on going into a room from the open air, after moderate exercise, also on walking or going up stairs.
