The Vertebrate Eye and Its Adaptive Radiation
Abstract
This book is the nineteenth bulletin of the Cranbrook Institute of Science, a massive tome with illustrations galore. The material deals with the various phases of the vertebrate eye. The first part is labeled "basic." It treats of light and its properties with especial reference to perception by an eye. The eye itself, the human eye, is then discussed and dissected from all points, starting with embryology, passing through the gross and microscopic anatomy, and finishing with the physiology of vision. This part is well written in plain language. The second part is the ecologic; in this are discussed the necessary adaptations that the visual apparatus has undergone and is still undergoing so that the parent organism may survive under various conditions. To the clinical ophthalmologist, much of this section will be entirely new and he will be surprised how much of this applies to his daily routine. The third

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
