Two ultrastructurally distinctive types of horizontal cells are described in the retinae of the cat and the rabbit. Evidence is presented that they have different synaptic connexions in the outer plexiform layer. The majority of the presynaptic structures identified in the outer plexiform layer of the rabbit (as defined on page 320) belong to a neurofilamentous type of horizontal cell. It is suggested that the cat may be the same. No synapses have been identified on to, or from, the second, predominantly neurotubular, type of horizontal cell. No chemical synapses on to, or between, horizontal cells have been found. Thus input of this kind to both types of horizontal cells is as yet only known to be from the photoreceptors. All positively identified postsynaptic processes were the dendrites or perikarya of bipolar cells. Other cell types that are possibly pre- or postsynaptic in the outer plexiform layer are discussed.
