Three of the five sets of twelve toads were the same as were used in testing the reactions to single monochromatic lights, when both the eye and the skin acted as receptors. Two new lots of twelve toads each were, however. Fig. 3. Curves representing the percentages of negative responses to the four sets of wave-lengths, when received through both the eye and the skin ( ); through tlie eye only ( ); and through the skin only ( ). Wave- lengths as abscissae and precentages of negative responses as ordinates. Points marked on axis of abscissae are the positions of the wave-lengths of the middle band of each light. B = Blue; G = Green; R = Red; 1' = Yellow. selected for the other two sets. These tests were, therefore, carried out on 36 separate toads. It will be seen, by referring to Table 7, that the results of the tests of the reactions to balanced pairs of monochromatic lights were, in the main, very similar to those obtained in response to single mono- chromatic lights under the same conditions. The numbers under each pair of lights represent the combined results of two sets of trials,.
