Most of the epidermis has fallen off. The head is cylindrical 
in form, containing a solidified brain and dissociated eyes. 
The lenses are composed of broken cells surrounded by a 
very thick hyaline capsule. The organs of the body are not 
sharply defined, being filled with many round cells. The 
blood-vessels are mostly empty. Even the nerves and car- 
tilages have lost their sharp borders. The extremities are 
stubby, being composed of densely packed round cells which 
show no differentiation.
