title: MANGABEY X AND B WAVE ELECTRORETINOGRAM COMPONENTS: THEIR DARK-ADAPTED LUMINOSITY FUNCTIONS.
abstract: The temporal separation of x and b components in the electroretinogram of the dark-adapted eye of the sooty mangabey, Cercocebus torquatus atys, permits, an uncomplicated calculation of luminosity functions. Flicker electroretinogram studies indicate enhancement of the photopic blue sensitivity.
