Bacteria were often present amidst the libers in the carcasses and can he seen in A, C, and I) lanowsi. though the fiber layers in the blobs are much thicker than those in vertebrate skin, the arrangement of the collagen libers in the two sites are similar (See Discussion). Vir- tually no cellular remnants, other than bacteria and bac- terial cysts, were found in any of the carcasses, reflecting their advanced state of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
