Abstract
IT is apparent from a review in Nature by Lawson1 that there are few published data on movements of the eyes during blinking. In the course of a more general investigation on eye movements2, I have recently obtained several records of rotations of the eye during blinking. The records are made by photography of a beam of light reflected from a small flat worked on a contact lens.
