Magnification < 55,000. membranes. The width of this fibrillar zone varies with the pigment dispersion. By fully dispersed melanophores the width is about n and by fully concentrated melanophores the width is about 3 n (figs. 3-6). The fibrils are regarded as representing contrac- tile structures, which as a basket mesh-work surround the inner sack. Thus when the fibrils contract, the
