w The major difficulty in albino diagnosis is that although foveal hypoplasii seems a consistent feature, it is not uncommon for an albino to have normal fundus pigmentation, normal iris pigmentation and/or no nystagmus. Only a retina-ge.nicula-coni misprojection seems pathognomonic to albinism since all species of albino mammals share this feature. With appropriate stimulus and recording condi...

Most fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds have laterally placed eyes and primarily panoramic vision. These vertebrates usually have complete crossing of optic fibres at the chiasm, i.e., optic ganglion fibres originating from each eye terminate in visual centres of the contralateral hemisphere. One of the features of the mammalian visual system is the appearance of an uncrossed optic projection...

Evidence has previously been submitted in favor of the theory that susceptibility to spontaneous tumors of various types is inherited. The question arose whether susceptibility to tumors induced by tar could be shown to be hereditary by experimenting with the same strains of mice which had already been shown to differ significantly in respect to their spontaneous tumor rates. Two strains of mic...
