From page 18...
... The chief questions raised about the first subject relate to the identity of the receptors for the light reflex: even today some authors hold that the rods play no pupillomotor role, while at the same time, the pupillary spectral sensitivity has been reported to show a scotopic curve even under photopic conditions (Bouma, 1962)

... experiments with chief emphasis on anatomy or physiology of afferent or efferent nerve paths, nervous centers, or effector muscles; (3) experiments with chief emphasis on physiological mechanisms involving the pupil, such as effects of drugs, altitude, gravity, rotation, changes in physiological state (respiration, heart rate, etc.)
