Description: Original figure legend: "A portion of the epidermis of a larval salamander (Amblystoma) as seen in slightly oblique horizontal section, enlarged 550 diameters. Most of the cells are polygonal in form, contain large nuclei, and are connected by delicate protoplasmic bridges. Above x is a branched, dark pigment-cell that has crept up from the deeper layers and lies between the epidermal cells. Three of the latter are undergoing division, the earliest stage (spireme) at a, a later stage (mitotic figure in the anaphase) at b, showing the chromosomes, and a final stage (telophase), showing fission of the cell-body, to the right."
