Translated part of
‘L’œil des Oiseaux’
in ‘Les Yeux et la vision
des Vertébrés’.
“The Avian Eye” is the translation of “l’Oeil des Oiseaux”, a chapter from the French work “Les yeux et la vision des vertébrés” (1943). This English version by Burtsaiizz Pub makes the original work available for an international audience, interested in birds' eyes morphology.
