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.

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

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.

A peculiar sound startled me and I saw a man descend by a rope, and take his stand on the windowsill.

He leaned on the windowsill, exhausted and helpless.
