WilHams has designated these layers by the terms inner and outer amelo-blastic membranes, and describes them as being composed of a finely fibrousstructure. The inner layer or membrane is particularly interesting from thefact that it seems to be composed of two sets of fibres running in nearlyopposite directions, but neither direction corresponding with the long axisof the ameloblasts. One set of these fibres passes in a somewhat more oblique course than theothers, and becomes confluent with the ends of the enamel-prisms, while theother set sweeps downward in a circular course, crossing the more oblique-running fibres and the enamel-prisms nearly at right angles.
