The cell size analysis made on various areas across the whole mount preparation of the rat retina revelead three classes of ganglion cells, termed L-(large), M-(medium-sized) and S-(small) cells. One can take 11.5 micrometers as being the boundary between S- and M- cells (S-M) boundary and 14.5 micrometers as that between M- and L-cells (M-L boundary). In the histogram shown in Fig. 4Ab, dips at 10.5 and 13.5 micrometers are taken as the S-M and M-L boundaries, respectivelypartially corresponds
