Fig. 1. Diagrammatic vertical section of ( A ) teleost retina and ( B ) elasmobranch retina. A1-5, amacrine cells; BC1-5, bipolar cells; C, cone; CF, centrifugal
nerve fiber; G1-3, ganglion cells; HC1-3 and HS1-2, horizontal cells; R, rod; RS,
radiaI supporting cell ( MiiIler cell); SG, steller ganglion cell; and TC, twin cone.
The inner nuclear layer consists mainly of the cell bodies of amacrine, bipolar,
horizontal, and Miiller cells. From Detweiler (1943) after Franz (1913).

animal form applies to the others. For example, the observation of Adrian
and Matthews (1927a) that the optic nerve of the eel responds with a
burst of impulse discharge at both onset and cessation of light is now
known to be common to other vertebrates. As another example, the result
