The distribution of ganglionic cells in the central area of the Beagle dog retina was studied by means of light microscopy in thirteen whole‐mount preparations stained with cresyl violet. The central area was composed of two parts termed “the round central area” and the “horizontal streak”; in some specimens the former and in other the latter part was more prominent. The highest concentration of ganglionic cells occured in the round central area (about 7.100 cells/mm 2 ). In other regions of the central area the cells were less numerous and the fewest number was found outside the central area. The size categories of ganglionic cells in the Beagle retina are comparable with those observed in other species.
