Abstract
IN connexion with studies on the experimental phenomenon of spreading depression1, the histological structure of the chick retina is being examined in detail in our laboratory. One of the techniques used proved very suitable for observation of cell processes in the inner plexiform layer. Some aspects of the pattern of amacrine cell processes were observed which have not hitherto been reported. These aspects are described in the present communication. Cajal's nomenclature2 is used throughout.
