Fig. 5. Melanotic sarcoma from Rata clavata. Cells 

 of rather irregular shape showing a tendency 

 to spindle formations. Marked connective 

 tissue stroma. The darkly shaded object is 

 part of a connective tissue fibre. 



Fig. 6. Lympho-sarcoma from the eye of Pleuronectes 

 flesus. Fibrous part of the growth, showing 

 colloidal swelling and fusions. 



Fig. 7. The same ; an enlarged connective tissue fibre 

 showing a reticular structure. Fine meshed 

 reticulum enclosing leucocytes. 



Fig. 8. Fibroma growing on the integument of the eye 

 of Raia clavata. Coarse fibrous tissue with 

 few cells.

 Morbid histology of fishes. 



Fig. 1. Lympho-sarcoma from the eye of Pleuronectes 

 flesus. Lymph space containing leucocytes, 

 some of which contain melanin. A smaller 

 lymph space on the right containing leucocytes 

 most of which are adherent to the walls. 



Fig. 2. Myxo-fibroma from Rain clavata. Fine fibrous 

 tissue running in all directions. A blood- 

 vessel containing several blood corpuscles and 

 a leucocyte. Numerous leucocytes in the 

 tissue surrounding the vessel. 



Fig. 3. The epithelium covering the myxo-fibromata 

 sectioned in fig. 2. Columnar cells, with 

 interpolated mucus cells, resting nn a coarse 

 connective tissue stroma, containing cells in 

 its interstices.
