But cells, in which the cytoplasm has withdrawn from the membrane by shrinking (Fig. 2), show distinctly that the membrane is represented by a cuticula of double contour, evidently homologous to the thicker membranes of the lymphocystis cells of other fish. The nuclei contain in their peripheral zone a fairly large amount of chromatic substance as bars and fields of granules. One or two nucleoli.
