It was found that: 1. Value of c. f. f. decreased with the distance from the boundary line to the test patch. 2. The brightness ratio of figure to its background increased, the effect decreased. 3. The range of the effect was greater in silhouette figures than in contour figures. 4. A difference was apparent between the effects of figure and figure line on the structure of the surrounding visual field 5. The effect of boundary line bisecting visual field was small. 6. The vicinity of the apex of a triangle, a rectangle and a square had peculiar effects on the visual field. 7. The range of the effect was different between horizontal and vertical direction in each figure. These studies did not demonstrate the cause of these phenomena. But as the phenomena conformed to the results of sensitivity, the process of figure certainly had an influence on its surrounding field. Finally, since the value of c.f.f. changed easily with various factors, Ss had to be well trained ones.
