This brief account of the ophthalmoscopeand its method of employment is offered forthe benefit of those who have not used theinstrument, but no description of ophthal-moscopy will much aid the zoologist in ac-quiring a practical knowledge of its applica-tion in the actual examination of animalseyes even in the favorable surrounding of thedarkened laboratory. Only a number ofmonths spent in the exploration of the eyesof such domestic animals — including Man —as are most readily accessible and easily ob-served, followed by ophthalmoscopy of wildspecies obtained in field work, will make anexpert of the student. While the writer will not say that a practical knowledge of the oph-thalmoscope is essential to the training of thescientific zoologist yet it is an instrument thatfurnishes precise and val
