This condition was found repeatedly in the tadpole (Figs. 9 and 10). These single granules moved about slightly as is usually the case with pigment granules wherever they are found. Expansion of the melanophore is a process of dispersion of the pigment granules which had been congregated within the cell body. The length of time required for melanophores to expand maximally depends upon the nature and the intensity of the stimulus. The epi-.
