Using previously developed techniques we have (1) made total counts, (2) examined fiber size distribution, (3) made fiber density maps, (4) mapped per cent small fibers in rhesus monkeys with and without destruction of the foveal retina. We find (1) that foveal fibers are small fibers, (2) they are the fibers of highest density, (3) our maps show fibers of these characteristics to lie in the area known to be occupied by the foveal outflow. On the basic of these findings we put forth an hypothesis to explain the dual behavior of the optic nerve in clinical disease

Key Words: optic nerve • optic nerve disease • foveal outflow • papillomacular bundle • rhesus monkey • photocoagulation
