| 14. | Demonstration upon the eye of a carp that the superior oblique muscle is essential to accommodation | 4 |
| 15. | Demonstration upon the eye of a rabbit that the production of refractive errors is dependent upon the action of the external muscles | 4 |

| 18. | Demonstration upon the eyeball of a rabbit that the obliques lengthen the visual axis in myopia | 4 |
| 19. | Demonstration upon the eye of a carp that the recti shorten the visual axis in hypermetropia | 4 |
| 20. | Lens pushed out of the axis of vision | 4 |
| 21. | Rabbit with lens removed | 4 |
| 22. | Experiment upon the eye of a cat, demonstrating that the fourth nerve, which supplies only the superior oblique muscle, is just as much a nerve of accommodation as the third, and that the superior oblique muscle which it supplies is a muscle of accommodation | 4 |
