Very frequently the surfaces of the individual cells are indicated on tlie cuticle as polygonal figures; and, in addition to the very fine pores, there are also found larger passages pro- duced by out-growth from the cells. These latter lead to the appearance ©f various cuticular appendages, such as hairs, bristles, scales, etc., which are placed on the cuticular pores, aud con- tain as a matrix their special cell or a process of it. Cuticular membranes may obtain a very considerable thickness, and, by the deposit.'on of calcareous salts, a high degree of firmness (carapace of Crustacea) so that they acquire the value of skeletal tissue.^, which, Fig. 22e.—Cu, cuticle with bristles in the condition of ecdysis.
