✦ Synopsis

Children with congenital achromatopsia possess an interesting paradoxical pupillary constriction to darkness that has not been previously described. This paper describes three children in whom this paradoxical pupillary reaction was documented with infrared pupillometry. The literature on the pupil in aehromatopsia is reviewed and a tentative testable model of the reaction is hypothesized.

## With 8 figures Investigations of heredity in congenital achromatopsia have indicated an autosomal recessive type of inheritance (FRANCOIS, VERRIEST & DE ROUC~:, 1955). The pedigree reported here is unique in that it is characterized by an X-linked recessive mode of inheritance (OeITz & SPIVEY).
