Pigment layer Light cells Fig. Light Gland of the Shark Spinax niger. (After Johann (35), and Dahlgren, 1917.) the free surface there is a lens for concentrating the light produced (Fig. ). In certain other forms, such as Cyclothone and Gonostoma, the photophores are similar in structure but are provided with a long duct leading to the exterior (Fig. ). Morphologically the various structures are derived from the epidermis. In the midshipman Porichthys notatus, a shallow-water fish of the west coast of North America, Greene has traced the development of the photophores from free epithelial buds which are.
