[Footnote 1: Brighter.] [Footnote 2: Darker.]
These long-continued and varied tests with Nos. 151
and 152 revealed three facts: that the mice depend
chiefly upon brightness differences in visual discrimination;
that they probably have something which corresponds
to our red-green vision, although their color experience
may be totally unlike ours; and that the red end of
the spectrum seems much darker to them than to us,
or, in other words, that the least refrangible rays
are of lower stimulating value for them than for us.
