1. The chromatophores ofHippolyte andCrangon are multicellular structures. Their branches show differentiation into a firmer ectoplasm and a more fluid mobile endoplasm in which the pigment occurs. 2. The formation of the pigments in the larval and post-larval chromatophores is described. 3. In addition to pigments, fat, in the form of colourless globules, occurs in the chromatophores ofHippolyte . This fat lies in special cells of the chromatophore, and exhibits a mobility similar to that of the pigments of the chromatophore.
