tissue from the heart of an Atlantic sturgeon showing normal hematopoiesis 
associated with the epicardium of the heart (RTLA 1118); and, (19) an in¬ 
vasive melanoma from a chinook salmon was submitted by John Hnath (RTLA 1269). 
REFERENCE LIBRARY 
Approximately 150 papers were added to the comprehensive library on neoplasms 
in lower animals bringing the total to 2,950. Except for recent acquisitions 
and articles that need to be translated, all papers have been abstracted by 
selected key words and computerized.
