The eyes of man and the higher animals have important differences. Professor Heine, at the German Naturalists’ Congress, pointed out that the human eye is normally at rest for an infinite distance, accommodation (changing the range of the eye from distance to near vision, or vice-versa), being accomplished by angular muscles in the socket that make the ball more convex. In apes and all mammalia and birds, as well as in some amphibia, the mechanism is the same. Birds have an advantage, as their striped muscular system enables them to make rapid changes, keeping fast-moving images in focus. Reptiles and fishes give quick adjustment by drawing back the lens instead of deforming it. The bigger the animal the poorer its accommodation. Among very inferior invertebrates are found very high eye mechanism; and some shellfish have eye adjustment comparable to that of highly-developed birds. In some respects—vision, sight, smell etc. —man is surpassed by other animals.
