First Edition
x, 1 leaf, 184 pp; 110 figs. Original cloth. Very Good. This copy does NOT have any library markings. First Edition. Experimental Biology Monographs. "Laurens had encouraged Detwiler to make a serious comparative study of the eyes of various forms and he, with Detwiler, published two papers on the retina of Phrynosoma and the alligator. Previous to this Detwiler had published his first papers on the effect of light on the retina of the tortoise and the lizard. Laurens' encouragement and the firm grounding which was laid on the morphological side impelled Detwiler to continue both fields of study along with his nervous system work. He was amazed at the constancy with which photomechanical changes occurred and how they could be controlled if the variables were known. From the standpoint of the artist-engineer the pure aesthetic beauty of eye structure and function intrigued him and his physiological experimentation under controlled conditions was of first rank. Technically his eye collection is the finest and most complete, in a comparative sense, of any in the world [this was in 1961]. He cut, mounted and stained each slide himself, for he would entrust this work to no one else. His artistry in these studies reached its peak in the morphological description of the eye of the Chinchilla. His original paintings of this eye are real artistic masterpieces (J. S. Nicholas, "Samuel Randall Detwiler 18901957. A Biographical Memoir", pp. 98-99).
