MELANOPHORES INDUCED BY X-RAY COMPARED WITH THOSE EXISTING IN PATTERNS AS SEEN IN CARASSIUS AURATUS

GEORGE MILTON SMITH 1

1 ANATOMICAL LABORATORY, SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, YALE UNIVERSITY

In the goldfish exposed to X-ray (7 human erythema units) existing patterns remained for the most part intact in the presence of an induced temporary eruption of corial melanophores caused by X-raying. In several fishes, however, a degeneration and disappearance of the patterns, partial or complete, was noted, and this followed after depigmentation of an eruption of X-ray-induced melanophores. X-ray thus produced two effects relative to melanophores, (a) an eruption of new melanophores with a short life cycle, (b) occasional degeneration of melanophores in existing patterns.
