这本关于鸽子视觉的全面、最新的描述从描述眼睛、其尺寸和光学特性开始。视网膜讨论相当详细，特别注意：各种细胞类型的分布内和整个视网膜，数量和性质的油滴在锥，高度发达的内丛状层，神经节细胞的反应特性，并造成损害的锥暴露于光。最后，三个主要的视觉通路的神经解剖学和电生理检查。在第二部分中，几个重要的问题已经强调：正面和侧面的视觉，视觉敏感性离散和周期性刺激在不同的适应水平，在鸽子，其视网膜的二分光谱敏感性，色调和饱和度的歧视，紫外线的敏感性，全景敏锐度，和运动的检测之间的假定差异。
This comprehensive, up-to-date account of vision in the pigeon begins with a description of the eye, its dimensions, and optical properties. The retina is discussed in considerable detail, with particular attention given to: the distribution of the various cell types within and across the retina, the number and the nature of the oil drops in the cones, the highly developed inner plexiform layer, the response characteristics of the ganglion cells, and the damage to cones caused by exposure to light. Lastly, the three major visual pathways are examined neuroanatomically and electrophysiologically. In the second section, several important issues have been emphasized: the putative differences between frontal and lateral vision, visual sensitivity to both discrete and periodic stimuli at various adaptation levels, polarotaxis in the pigeon, the bipartite spectral sensitivity of its retina, hue and saturation discrimination, sensitivity to ultraviolet light, panoramic acuity, and the detection of movement.
