It was shown in a previous paper¹ that keratitis and cataract develop in albino rats restricted to a diet deficient in vitamin G, and it has also been shown² that Norway rats respond in like manner. More recent experiments³ with modifications of the deficient diet yielded similar results. O'Brien^3a has also reported cataract resulting from vitamin G deficiency. In order to demonstrate whether or not such deficiency lesions are common to mammals in general, other species have been subjected to a similar dietary regimen. The purpose of this paper is to report the production of cataract and other ocular changes in albino mice by the administration of a vitamin G-deficient diet. Bing and Mendel⁴ studied the effect of vitamin G deficiency on the albino mouse and reported that, in addition to dermatitis, the eyelids became inflamed and adherent in one animal.⁵
