Sir George Mackenzie's Works (the folio edition) happened to lie in a window in the dining room.

In front of the globe, the sclerotic passes into a transparent circular portion forming a window through which one can see into the interior.

It projects from the general contour of the eyeball, not unlike a rounded bay-window, and is often spoken of as the "window of the eye.

Look steadily at a well-lighted window for a few seconds, and then turn the eyes suddenly to a darkened wall.

The window frame may be plainly seen for a moment.

On the inner wall of the tympanum are two openings, the round window, or foramen rotundum, and the oval window, or foramen ovale.

On the inner wall of the tympanum are two openings, the round window, or foramen rotundum, and the oval window, or foramen ovale.

The plate of the stirrup is fixed by a membrane into the oval window of the inner wall of the tympanic chamber.

Two are attached to the hammer, and tighten and relax the drum; the other is attached to the stirrup, and prevents it from being pushed too deeply into the oval window.

It is on the inner side of the oval window, which was closed, as we have seen, by the stirrup bone.

One passage from the cochlea opens directly into the vestibule; the other leads to the chamber of the middle ear, and is separated from it by the little round window already described.

(Magnified; the upper figure of the natural size.) A, oval window (foramen ovale); B, C, D, semicircular canals; * represents the bulging part (ampulla) of each canal; E, F, G cochlea, H, round window (foramen rotundum).

The stirrup now performs a to-and-fro movement at the oval window, passing the auditory impulse inwards to the internal ear.

Every time the stirrup bone is pushed in and drawn out of the oval window, the watery fluid (the perilymph) in the vestibule and inner ear is set in motion more or less violently, according to the intensity of the sound.

Do not go to sleep with the head on a window sill or in any position, with the ears exposed to draughts of cold or damp air.

When he had despatched Victor with the letter, he flung his window wide and leaned out of it with his eyes wide opened on the darkness, and on his lips that smile that was not good to see.

That violet-bed beneath the window had been planted fifty years before at the whim of a woman.

Fifty years before, Sir Beverley had stood at that same window waiting and listening in the spring twilight for the beloved footfall of the woman who was never again to enter his house.

" I followed her in through the curtains, and found myself in a small, narrow room with a window which looked out on the back of Burlington Arcade.

Joyce took me to the window, and still holding my arm, made a second and even longer inspection of McMurtrie's handiwork.

He undertakes as much as he performs little; this man will thrust himself forward to be the guide of the way he knows not, and calls at his neighbour's window and asks why his servants are not at work.
