A detailed analysis of the dark phase patterns of Brown and Gebhard produced by looking at a uniform flickering field has been made. The phenomenon may be classified into various types, general features of the patterns have been described and their predominant colours have been evaluated quantatively. The effect of monochromatic light was explored and quantitative experiments were conducted to determine in the optic system of which eye the patterns arise. An argument is presented that they arise in the optic system of the externally dark eye and the mechanism by which this may be brought about is discussed
