of regard'. F. ligne de regard ; G. Blick-
linie. The line connecting the centre of
rotation of the eye with the point of re-
gard ; for most purposes it may be taken
as agreeing with the line of sight. The
line connecting the fixation-point with a
somewhat variable point between the eyes
is called the binocular line of regard (^G.
binoculare Blicklinie). The primary posi-
tion of the line of regard {^F. position pri-
maire de la ligne de regard ; G. Primärstel-
lung, Normalstellung) is — 1. That position
for normal eyes which the lines of regard
assume when the head is erect and the lines
of regard are directed parallel to the median
plane to an infinitely distant horizon (^(}.
Fernstellung). 2. That position from which
the eye may move up and down and right
and left without undergoing any torsion ;
for many eyes a somewhat depres.sed posi-
tion. The primary position for convergence
[Bonders] is that position of the plane of
regard in which the rotation of the eyes
about the lines of regard in convergence
becomes zero ; usually a depressed position.
The secondary position (F. position secon-
daire ; G. Secundärstellung) is a position
reached by rotation about a horizontal or
vertical axis, or any position other than the
primary. Third positions are those involv-
ing rotation about the antero-posterior axis.
besides rotation about the horizontal and
vortical axes. All these terms are applied
t(i the eye as well as the line of regard.

axis of the eye. The binocular line of
sight, median line of sight, or middle vis-
ual line {G. gemeinsame Sehrichtungslinie,
Sehrichtung der Netzhautcentra, llaupt-
sohrichtuug, mittlere Blickrichtung) is the
line in which appear those things which
image themselves on the points of direct
sight of the two retinae ; practically, the
binocular line of regard. The range of
movement of the line of sight ( G. Bewe-
gungsraum der Gesichtslinie) is an irregu-
lar conical space enclosed by the line of
sight in all the extreme positions that it
can assume by movement of the eye alone.
The apex of the cone lies at the centre of
rotation of the eye. The field of move-
ment of the line of sight (G. Bewegungs-
feld der Gesichtslinie) is a section of the
above-mentioned irregular cone by a plane
(or by a curved surface whose centre of
curvature is the centre of rotation of the
eye) perpendicular to the line of sight in
its primary position. L. of vis'ion, the

on the eyeball or on the retina by the plane
of regard passing through centre of retina.
The horizontal meridian of the visual field
(G. Netzhauthorizont) is that coinciding
with the horizontal meridian of the field
of regard when the eyes are in their pri-
mary position. The vertical meridian is
the line of intersection on the eye or retina
of a plane passing through the visual axis
and perpendicular to the plane of regard.
Apparent vertical meridians ( F. méridiens
verticaux apparents; G. scheinbar verticale
Meridiane) are those meridians of the field
of vision which seem vertical, and coincide
in the binocular field of view when the eyes
have their primary position. They vary
slightly from the true vertical meridian,
separating above and approaching below.
The term is also applied to the meridians
of the retina which correspond to these.
M. of the field of regard. F. méridiens

infinitely removed from the eye, these me-
ridians are true for the binocular as well as
the monocular field. M. of the visual
field. F. méridiens du champ visuel. Lines
of intersection in the visual field of planes
laid through the visir-line which goes to the

optics and acoustics, determination of the

of sensations, etc., being in this sense near-

of formulating the quantitative relations
between intensity of stimulus and the re-
sulting psychical manifestation or sensa-
tion. 3. Sometimes used to mean the sci-

processes which are intermediate between
the stimulus and the sensation, and which
is mostly theoretical. Outer psychophysics
(6r. äussere Psychophysik) studies the re-

tion, taking their connection as an empirical
fact ; it is chiefly experimental. Quantita-
tive relations include those of extension as

grain is smallest fatal dose recorded ; yV
grain' has produced alarming symptoms.
Sublimes by heat, depositing penniform
crystals ; melts under heat to a brown
liquid, giving off dense white fumes and
leaving carbon as residue. A drop of
pure sulphuric acid applied to a small frag-

color. If a bit of potassium bichromate
or other oxidizing agent be brought into

follows — deep-blue, violet, purple, pink, and
red. Extremely delicate, but uncertain in
presence of other alkaloids. Potassium
bichromate throws down from solutions of

may be verified by sulphuric acid : see

stream of chlorine is passed slowly through
