This anomaly is found more often in the white than in the Negro race. It is described as a tissue tag hanging or projecting from the free margin of the labial maxillary frenum and a separate entity consisting of a small fibrous nodule found at the point of insertion of the frenum on the maxillary ridge. One out of five white males in a group of 416 had this anomaly. T. J. C.

This paper deals with the injection of a contrast substance, such (Iodochlorol and the newer resorbable media, oily dionosil), into the orifice duct for diagnostic purposes. The stroma is probed with the graduated series of lacrimal dilators No. 4 is reached. A cannula (lacrimal duct type) with an orifice of at internal diameter is placed in the duct, the loaded syringe (a long-barreled Lok is preferred) is attached, and approximately 1.75 C.C. of the contrast injected slowly.
