✦ Synopsis
Persistent 24-hour rhythms of migration of retinal pigments in the compound eye have been reported for several crustaceans. Review of the literature disclosed that any one or any combination of the three pigments, distal, proximal, and reflecting, may exhibit a 24-hour rhythmicity (Brown, '44 ; Kleinholz, '49). These rhythms may persist in darkness only, in light alone or under either condition.
