Two aspects of the behaviour of the oculomotor system in the dark were examined:(1) In attempting to hold a given eccentric gaze directionwithoutvisual input, the eye drifts back towards the primary direction. The backwards drift is partly compensated by small correction saccades. Although for fixationwithvisual control the eyes also drift, this is 5–10 times lower. This leads to the conclusion that the eye position during the fixation of visible targets is stabilized against drift by acontinuouscontrol loop. As a possible source of drift a leaky integrating controller is discussed.(2) Saccades between given targets (angular displacement 5–70°) were practised; in trying to reproduce these saccades a number of times from memory and in the dark, the first attempts deviate by about 5° from the appropriate angle. The amplitudes of successive repetitions deviate increasingly from the desired angle. They increase if the angle to be reproduced is below 50°, and they decrease if this angle exceeds 60°. If no angular displacement had previously been practised, voluntary saccades in the dark start with an angle of 50° and tend to 60° as the repetitions continue.
