摘要：
The light and electron microscope architecture of the retina of a fruit bat (Pteropus giganteus Brünnich) is described. The relationship between choroidal vessels penetrating the retina and the retinal substance is also described and related to the uniquely papillated structure of the organ. The functional significance of the papillation is discussed and related to the views of other workers. It is concluded that the papillation has, apart from a metabolic role, a visual function in that it allows a greater number of outer segments to be packed together in a given area of retina. © 1969.
