[Fig. 1]. This figure represents a transverse section through a portion of the vitreous body of the distal complex eye at about the level x of [Fig. 4]. Three kinds of areas are seen, namely, the prisms and pyramids with their axial fibers and the distal continuations of the long pigment cells. Towards the lower left of the figure the section is a little more distal than at the right and the transverse areas of the long pigment cells are no more so large as at the right of the figure. The dark granules in the areas of the long pigment cells represent pigment. Camera lucida sketch. ×920. pp. [45], [46], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [54].
[Fig. 2]. This figure is a camera lucida sketch from a section taken transverse through the most distal part of the pigmented zone of a slightly pigmented retina of a distal complex eye. The presence of three kinds of elements is again evident. The dots without the polygonal areas represent the centrad continuations of the axial fibers of the prism cells. The lettering explains the other areas. ×920. pp. [46], [48], [50].
[Fig. 3]. This is from a section similar to that of [Fig. 1], but a little more distal. At the right, the section is more distal than at the left of the figure, in consequence of which the long pigment cells are there taken through their distal fibers. Note the small shrinkage spaces about the axial fibers of the prisms. The white lines bounding the prism areas appear as in nature. The pyramid cells are not shown in this figure. ×950. Camera sketch. pp. [50], [51], [52], [54].
[Fig. 4]. This figure is from a section taken parallel to the long axis of the cells of the retina of a distal complex eye. It is from a camera sketch, and nothing has been put into the figure except what could be clearly seen. The lateral boundary lines of the prisms are not shown. Note the evidence for the existence of three kinds of cells. ×920. pp. [44-52], [54].
[Fig. 5]. This figure represents a sagittal section through the nuclear and pigmented zones and the subretinal nerve tissue of a slightly pigmented retina of a distal complex eye, that had been killed in the dark. Camera sketch. The pyramid cells are not shown. ×900. pp. [47], [51], [52], [53].
[Fig. 6]. These cells are from a preparation by Conant of a sensory club, macerated in acetic acid. Cell a is evidently an iris cell. The others are probably prism cells from the proximal complex eye. ×900. pp. [44], [48].
[Fig. 7]. In this figure I represent a sagittal section through the distal complex eye. In the middle half of the section, the nuclei, the prism and pyramid cells with their axial fibers, and the long pigment cells with their large distal fibers are all strictly camera lucida sketched. A portion of the pigmented zone has been left unpigmented to better show its structure. At the right and above the concretion cavity is shown a portion of the endoderm of the ampulla. The section is not strictly in a dorsoventral plane of the club, in consequence of which the cells of the ampulla are cut diagonally and through their tips. Note the dumbbell-shaped nuclei of the ampulla cells, as also the masses of secretion. A part of the retina of the proximal complex eye is shown in the upper part of the figure. ×920. pp. [41-54], [63], [64], [68-71].
[Fig. 8]. These cells are from a macerated preparation. Cells a, b, c, d may be either prism or pyramid cells from the distal complex eye or prism cells from the proximal complex eye. Cells e and f are probably from the right fourth ([Fig. 13]) of the retina of the proximal complex eye or from the simple eyes. The unlettered cells are probably from the simple eyes. Some of these show a distal process. ×900. pp. [48], [62], [65].
[Fig. 9]. The cells here figured are long pigment cells from the same preparation as [Fig. 6]. ×900. pp. [50], [51].
[Fig. 10]. This drawing shows an end view of a group of prisms from the same preparation as [Fig. 6]. ×900. pp. [46].
