Abstract
THE phenomenon of “glowing” eyes (autophanous or not) is certainly observed in man. Without taking much interest in the matter, I have noticed three cases, one abroad and years ago, and the other two auite recently in London. In Room 10 of the L.C.C. Technical Institute, Dalston Lane, N.E., with all lights switched on, I observed the phenomenon over and over again by standing between the lecturer's table and the front bench and looking down at the student sitting in the middle (who should be looking up at you). I should add that I assumed the matter to be a function of the position after I had seen it in two students; before then I thought it was a peculiarity of the one student.
