Synopsis

Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Area of Acute Vision in Vertebrates

This investigation has been pursued during the past three years in the Neurological Laboratory of Clark University under the direction of Dr. C. F. Hodge, to whom I am under great obligations for his assistance and encouragement. I am also greatly indebted to Clark University for the apparatus and material which has made this work possible.

Up to the present I have been engaged chiefly in a gross comparison of the retina rather than-in its minute histology, therefore my aim will be, first, to sum up the results of others and also to add my own; second, to correlate as far as possible the habits of the animal with its visual apparatus.

Since there are so many investigators who have written on various phases Of the eye, it will be impossible to mention all. Reference, therefore, will be made to only a few of the most important in the historical résumé and literature on the subject.
