 the periotoneal cavity in the teleost, 

 Taiitogolabrus adspersus. Amer. J. Anat., 51: 

 3-39. 



Experiments utilizing the cunner 

 demonstrated "that intraperitoneally 

 injected carbon reaches various organs and 

 tissues, a) as free ink granules, b) by direct 

 infiltration of carbon-filled cells, i. e., 

 macrophages derived from the peritoneal 

 cavity, and, c) by migration of 

 carbon-filled macrophages from vascular 

 channels. Direct absorption of free carbon 

 particles from the peritoneal cavity is 

 accomplished chiefly by the mesentary 

 and intestine, the muscular coat of the 

 latter being frequently invaded by bay-like 

 projections of carbon." p. 31.

The observation is made that cunner eggs 

 are pelagic and that, in this respect, they 

 resemble the eggs of related wrasses such 

 as the "goldsinny rainbow wrasse, and 

 tautog." p. 307.
