(After Gaupp.) in the dark until they may reach the periphery, and contract- ing under the influence of hght. Ordinarily most of the cones do not reach the outer surface of the retina. The retina is marked by a thickening or papilla where the optic nerve enters. Above this papilla there extends in an antero-posterior direction a thickened portion of the retina known as the area centralis, which probably marks the region of most acute vision, like the yellow spot in the eye of man. The cones are relatively more numerous in this region than in other parts (i c. : 2. 4 r. instead of i c. : 3 or 4 r., as elsewhere), and the rods are of relatively small size. The action of light upon the retina results in the produc- tion of several visible changes. In addition to the contraction.
