The three types.—So far, the several experiments that have been grouped together under the head of the third experi- ment (§ 26), have come off perfectly well, and, in accordance, with expectation and prediction. It might have been otherwise. I took care to be provided with fresh, normal, uncompressed eyeballs, because I did not wish, in introducing the subject, to have to confuse your first im- pression of it by interpolated explanation of unexpected results of experiment. And I was careful to be provided with the lively Rana Teniporaj'ia, as the sluggish R. esculenta would pro- bably not have answered as well. Nevertheless, I felt it neces- sary to have at my elbow a diagram, in which are schematically summarised the various cases that I have met with in various states of the eyeball. I have divided them into three types :—.
