The eyes of these hypertensive animals have been studied during a period of more than five years. A preliminary report² and an interim report³ have been made.

These dogs exhibited two definite types of hypertension: a benign phase, without a decrease of renal excretory function, and an acute malignant phase, with very high blood pressure and severe damage of the renal excretory function. These two phases correspond to the benign and malignant phases of essential hypertension in man.
