H., 1912,"{Principles of Human Physiology," p. 630 (by implication). retinal pigment of the human eye undergoes positional changesin light and in darkness. The pigment, which, in the dark, forms a com-pact layer next to the choroid, is said to mi-grate towards the external limiting membrane in the light, thereby forming processes which interdigitate with the rods and cones. If not explicitly stated, it is at least implied that this response is well marked and the actual migration extensive. This view is so generally accepted as expressing a commonplace of retinal physiology t. hat it is well worth while to examine the facts upon which its validity rests. That photomechanical changes take place in the retinal pigment of anuran amphibians, a fact first established independently by Boll5 and by Kiihne6 on the frog in 1877, may be substantiated by any one who will perform the necessary experiments. Similar results, in many cases even more striking, were obtained on fishes (Stort,'86). 7 Angelucci (p78) 8 likewise first reported this condition to hold for Triton as a type of urodele amphibian, and Stort ('87), 9 using the pigeon for material, again presented the earliest demonstration in the retina of birds. wnen reptiles and mammals are considered, on the otherhand, the literature at once be-comes contradictory. Angelucci ('90), 1o how-ever, reported a rather limited pigmentmigration in the retina of Testudo marina, and Chiarini ('06) 11 also states that a distinct but
