1) A review was given of photochemical reac-tion and metabolism in the retina.

2) Electrical changes in the retina were descri-bed with special reference to the X-wave of thehuman ERG which was discovered by the au-thor and his co-worker, Mita.

3) The method of electrostimulation of the eye was shown to be effective for analyzing of reti-nal color processes, taking electrical phosphenes in man and spike potentials from ganglion cells in animals as an index for threshold determina-tion.

4) It was shown that the same method is app-licable for exploration of scotopic processes. Two kinds of scotopic process were disclosed by the method, and their physiological significance was discussed on the basis of the data obtained from the totally color-blind.

5) Physiological correlates of psychological phe-nomena, color- and brightness contrasts were found in the retinae of man and animals, and designated "retinal induction".

6) The fields of retinal induction around retinal images of various figures were quantitatively investigated, and the importance of the field for various types of optical illusion and visual. acuity was demonstrated by a number of exa-mples.

7) The propagation of retinal induction through. the retina was proved on the basis of a new phenomenon called "neutralization of retinal induction", and propagation velocity was deter-mined in human and animal retinae.

8) The wave nature of retinal induction was demonstrated by experiments on reflection, re-fraction and diffraction of retinal induction in the retina.

The wave-lengths of induction waves caused by spectral lights of various wave-lengths were measured by means of a target of the type of Rowland's grating.

9) Evoked potentials of the lateral geniculat body and the cerebral cortex were studied, and expressed as a function of the wave-lengths of illuminating spectral lights.
