Abstract
DURING the course of an examination of natural membranes, which might be studied directly with the electron-microscope, it was observed that the peritrophic membrane of the intestine of Dixippus morosus presented several interesting features. It has a submicroscopic structure more or less comparable with that of the nuclear membrane in oocytes of Triturus torosus and Xenopus lævis1.
