title: Neuronal cells and types of contacts in the owl's retina.
abstract: A total of 20 types of neuronal cells were impregnated in the owl's retina which included 2 horizontals, 3 bipolars, 8 amacrines and 7 ganglion cells. A number of synapses were evident and were divided into simple and complex categories; the former involved 2 types of cells and the latter more types. The implication of some of the findings were speculated.
