Abstract
In autoradiographs of the retina from twoโweek old chicks injected with tritiated thymidine during the first week after hatching, the labelled cells were found mainly in the extreme periphery of the retina and the ciliary epithelium of the pars plana. The pattern of labelling in the extreme periphery resembles that observed (Fujita and Horii, 1963) in retinae exposed to tritiated thymidine during embryonic development. The mechanisms underlying the histogenesis of retinal cells during growth at the extreme periphery in young stages may be the same as those which operate during embryonic development.

## Abstract The retina of the chick contains retinal cells of a morphology very similar to that of the horizontal cells, but the perikarya, axons, and axon terminals lie in the inner plexiform layer. The discovery of this neuronal ectopia appears to support the idea that some horizontal and amacrin
