cytes were in the inner portion. Macrophages were observed among the lymphocytes. By 40 days after hatching, thymus differentiated into outer and inner zones: cortex and medulla. At this time blood vessels invaded from the surrounding connective tissue into the thymus. Lymphocytes were also observed in the connective tissue around thymus. From these results the basic structure of the thymus was formed by 40 days after hatching.

phocyte marker in humans and most mammals. We investigated the characterization of carp peripheral leucocytes that form spontaneous rosette with red blood cells of sheep (SRBC), horse (HRBC), bovine (ORBC), and rabbit (RRBC). The frequency of E-rosette formation with SRBC and HRBC was higher than that of ORBC and RRBC. E-rosette formation of carp leucocytes depended on the incubation time and occurred at a temperature ranging from 0"C to 37°C. Variations in surface morphology of re20.
