Abstract
Literature data for visual pigment spectra are formally treated by ass uming that the spectra consist of a summation of absorbance bands, tha t the shape of the bands is invariant according to the Mansfield-MacNi chol transform and that this shape is described by simple exponential functions. A new template for constructing visual pigment spectra from peak wavelengths is derived.
