In the individuals 70 to go mm. long, the pigment epithelium reaches 16 /A in thickness. The only indication of a lens was found in the eye of a specimen 72 mm. long. In this a small lenticular group of cells lay in the opening of the pupil. It measured 24 x 40 yu, (fig. 6). THE IRIS AND ORA SERRATA. Marked changes take place in the iris from the smallest to the largest individuals examined, so that these must be dealt with seriatim. The smallest individual is 30 mm. long (fig. 5 a and c). On the left side the pupil measures 22 p. in diameter; the distance from the margin of the pupil to the ora serrata measures approximately IOO/A. The epithelial part of this iris consists of an outer layer of dense pigment considerably (14 fj-} thicker than the pigment epithelium of the rest of the eye. At the pupil this pigment appears rolled into the inner surface of the iris, where it is continuous with the inner layer of cells, which consists of a layer of ordinary pigmentless epithelium 6 /J, thick, with the nuclei elongate and placed obliquely, and 24 /* in length. A few of these ordinarily pig- mentless cells show pigment. There is a distinct thickening of the iris at the margin of the pupil. The pigment cells lying on the inner face of this region are much less densely pigmented than those of the outer layer, and their nuclei are quite evident. The pupil is closed with colorless cells belonging to thechoroid (fig. 7 a).. FIG. 6. Lens of Specimen 72 mm. Please note that these images are extracted fro
