Abstract
PIGMENT bodies have been observed in the untreated living spinal neurones of the frog Rana tigrina1 and some reptiles2. As I could demonstrate corresponding pigment bodies in the spinal neurones of some teleosts, these bodies must no doubt be considered to be of more general importance. The species investigated in this connexion were Nannostomus beckfordi, Phenacogrammus interruptus, Corynopoma riisei, Otocinclus vestitus, Chriopeops goodei, Phalloceros caudimaculatus, Nanochromis nudiceps and Ctenopoma kingsleyi.
