The feeding reaction of toads has been shown by experiment to be dependent on the visual perception of movement. The influence of the visual field on the snapping reaction has been investigated with an apparatus which allowed the object, subject and parts of the visual field to be moved independently of each other. Ample evidence for kinematoscopic sensation of movement was found at speeds varying from 27 to 5 pictures per sec. Evidence is brought forward to prove that toads are able to recognize stationary objects and even to discriminate different parts of them.
