Fig. 17. Part of a transverse section through the branchiostegite of Hoplophorus novae-zealandiae, showing one of the lateral carapace photophores. The outer wall of the branchiostegite is on the left, the inner on the right, and between them a haemocoelic blood space is indicated by mechanical stippling. A section through a similar but more anterior organ appears in Plate XXV, fig. 2. In each the plane of section corresponds to a section passing through ab in the whole view in Fig. 18.
