Units isolated by Granit''s technic in the isolated frog''s retina have receptive fields with a central plateau, of high sensitivity 0.2-0.6 mm. in diam. "Off" units summate subliminal stimuli over the whole of their receptive fields, but are unaffected by light falling outside it. "On-off" units summate subliminal stimuli over their receptive fields, but rather less completely than "off" units. Light falling outside the receptive field has an inhibitory action. The amt. of inhibition is proportional to the intensity of the light falling outside the receptive field. Possible functions, related to the visual behavior of the frog, are suggested for "off" and "on-off" units.
