I have letters from Usher about his mouse eyes & hope to examine Coats’s at Moorfields tomorrow. Usher’s & Coats’s exams. agree in general; both find that the dark-red-pupil mice have partially albinotic iris & choroid. We must of course have rather more detail.
I saw a fashionable very busy Vet. today (Hobday) who knows all about breed dogs. He says Albsm. is not so very rare in Pekingese, but that the albino puppies not being wanted are usually “knocked on the head”. He knows but little, I gather, of albsm. i[n] other breeds, but spoke of “white” Bull terriers as deaf;- I think he meant albinotic Bull terriers; I don’t think he meant mere ordinary white haired ones. An Ophth. friend (Higgens) told me yesterday he once had a perfectly albinc. bull terrier that was quite deaf & was run over & killed in consequence.
