Abstract
THE five papers in this volume are contributions from the Freiburg Physiological Institute, reprinted from the Zeitschrift für Psychologie und Physiologie der Sinnes-organe. Dr. von Kries is the author of three papers dealing with the functions of the retinal elements, subjective effects produced by light of short duration, and colour vision, in the course of which a number of observations on the visual effects of different parts of the spectrum on different colour-blind individuals are recorded. Two other papers included in the collection are on the influence of light-intensity and adaptation on the vision of green-blind subjects, by Drs. J. v. Kries and W. Nagel; and on the influence of the yellow-spot—the part of the retina which lies directly in the axis of vision—upon colour appreciation, by Dr. Breuer.
