The midget bipolar cells in the chick retina.

This paper reports the existence of midget bipolar cells on the chick retina, as determined by the staining methods of Golgi-Stensaas and Golgi-Colonnier. We date the appearance of these cell types at days 13 (HH-39) and 14 (HH-40) of incubation and describe them morphologically throughout their development until the time of hatching, at which time the cells show an adult structure. As an adjunct to this work we classify the midget bipolar cells into four groups.
