Retinofugal pathways of Polypterus senegalus C. have been examined by means of the radioautographic method. Contralaterally the retina projects to the hypothalamus, thalamus, pretectum and tectum. An important ipsilateral component has been observed. No retinal projection to the mesencephalic tegmentum has been identified. Comparing the primary optic system of Polypterus with that of other body Fish, indicates that this species possesses a combination of characteristics which are both actinopterygian and sarcopterygian. The significance of this mozaic arrangement is discussed.
已通过放射自显影法研究了塞内加尔多鳍鱼的视网膜传出通路。视网膜对侧投射到下丘脑、丘脑、顶盖前区和中脑顶盖。已观察到一个重要的同侧成分。未发现视网膜向中脑被盖的投射。将多鳍鱼的初级视觉系统与其他硬骨鱼的进行比较，表明该物种具有辐鳍鱼类和肉鳍鱼类的特征组合。讨论了这种镶嵌排列的意义。
