Total colour blindness, also called monochromasia, or achromatopsia, is an anomaly easily recognized, because the individuals affected with it, besides the colour-blindness, which is in itself so pronounced that it cannot escape notice, present a number of other symptoms. Thus there is a question of a syndrome one single symptom of which is the colourblindness. Outwardly i t manifests itself already by photophobia, which causes the patients to tighten their eyelids even in ordinary daylight, and by pronounced undulatory nystagmus. Moreover, there is considerable amblyopia with vision reduced to 6/60 or even less, the affection thus having a severely disabling effect. When the illumination is reduced, the patients open their eyes more freely, the nystagmus becomes less pronounced, and their vision improves (Nyctalopia) . A monochromat’s dark vision is about as good as that of a normal person. Further examination with the spectral apparatus discloses other very characteristic symptoms. In the first place, the monochromat does not perceive differences of colour, therefore he can get any two colours to look alike by finding the exact proportion between the intensities. In the second place, the spectrum appears to him shortened at the red end, and finally he finds that its maximum of intensity deviates from yellow to green. Thus he does not perceive the red outside the line C (655 p p ) and, instead of the maximum of the spectrum
