of the inner nuclear with the inner molecular layer. The bipolar cells 

 comprise the following : () Bipolar cells of the rod-visual cells the 

 dendrites of which intertwine around the basilar portions of the rod- 

 visual cells, and the neuraxes of which end in telodendria in the neigh- 

 borhood of the cell-bodies of the nerve-cells of the ganglion-cell layer. 

 (/9) Bipolar cells of the cone-visual cells. The dendrites of these cells, 



which also end in the outer molecular layer, are there in relation to 

 the basilar processes of the cone-fibers. Their neuraxes come in 

 contact, by means of terminal arborizations, with the dendrites of the 

 ganglion cells of the ganglion-cell layer at varying depths of the 

 inner molecular layer. (y) Besides these, there are also bipolar 

 cells which, as in the case of a and /5, form contact with the rod- and
