InRana pipienstadpoles the number of cells in the inner nuclear layer of the retina continuously increases. At stage I this layer is only two cells thick. By the end of metamorphosis at stage XXV the thickness of this layer has reached a level of 10–11 cells in depth.Colchicine and thymidine-3H were used to determine the source and manner of distribution of the new cells added to this layer.New cells are produced by mitosis at the margin of the retina. This is the only region where mitotic figures are observed following colchicine treatment for extended periods.Nuclei at the margin of the retina readily incorporate thymidine-3H prior to division. Following mitosis, labeled cells move into the inner nuclear layer and migrate toward the fundic region of the eye. The velocity of their movement steadily decreases on subsequent days following emigration from the margin.These new cells may be responsible for the change in the requirements of the visual system as the animal prepares to leave the water and change from a bottom feeding omnivore to a voracious carnivore.
