Abstract

Previous studies conducted in these laboratories showed the pigment in the eye of Forbesichthys papilliferus, when exposed to light, migrated from the stratum pigmenti into the layer of rods and cones. It was thought advisable to investigate this matter further. The following lines of investigation were conducted, viz:

  1. to determine the rate at which the pigment migrates from the stratum pimenti into the layer of rods and cones when exposed to sunlight;
  2. to determine the rate at which the pigment migrates from the stratum pigmenti into the layer of rods and cones when exposed to artificial light; and
  3. to determine the rate of the reverse process or the rate of migration of pigment from the layer of rods and cones back into the stratum pigmenti after light is excluded.
