When Dr. Katherine Tansley's "Vision in Vertebrates" appeared in
1965, it filled a real void that had hitherto existed. It did so by
serving at once as a text-book: for an undergraduate course, a
general introduction to the subject for post-graduate students
embarking on research on some aspect of vision, and the interested
non-specialists. Gordon Walls' "The Vertebrate Eye and It. s
Adaptive Radiation" and A. Rochon-Duvigneaud's "Les Yeux et la
Vision des Vertebres" have served as important sources of
information on the subject and continue to do so even though it is
40 years since they appeared. However, they are essentially
specialised reference works and are not easily accessible to boot.
The genius of Katherine Tansley was to present in a succinct (132
pages) and lucid way a clear and an interesting survey of the
matter. Everyone liked it, particularly the students because one
could read it quickly and understand it. Thus, when it seemed that
a new edition was desirable, especially in view of the enormous
strides made and the vast literature that had accumulated in the
past 20 years, one of us (MAA) asked Dr. Tansley if she would
undertake the task. Since she is in retirement and her health not
in a very satisfactory state both she and her son, John Lythgoe
(himself a specialist of vision), asked us to take over the task.
