Jackson virtually puts aside the volumetric theory with his statement, that "the balance of intra-ocular pressure is not maintained by the slight distensibility of the sclero-corneal coat." Further discussion on the inadequacy of the volumetric theory need not detain us. It is well to recall a few anatomical features because of their bearing on the theories herein considered.
