1. The integumental tissues from the branchial region of an intermolt spiny lobster (late Stage C) are bordered by an outer and an inner integument. The outer integument consists of four layers: a thin epicuticle, the pigmented layer, the principal layer, and the membranous layer. Both the epicuticle and pigmented layer are formed before molt. The inner integument, about 1/20 the thickness of the outer integument, is composed of two layers, a very thin epicuticle and a uniformly staining endocuticle.2. The integumental tissues are composed of columnar epidermal cells and a sub-epidermal connective tissue of a loose spongy type. Large oval reserve cells constitute by far the most predominant type of cells in this tissue. These cells store abundant amounts of carbohydrate, lipid and calcium at various stages throughout the molting cycle; they are also found in the hepatopancreas.3. Within the tubular epithelium of the hepatopancreas are two major types of cells, secretory and absorptive. The former are swol...
