The killi- flsh Fundulus is used in the first part of this color film to demonstrate color changes. We see them in fresh water and then in sea water. It is explained that color changes in fish are brought about by the migration of pigments within branching processes of cells called chromatophores. It is shown that these cells are located in the skin and are controlled in part by the nervous system and in part by the endo- crine system. We next see how fish tend to assume the color of their background. In close-up we examine the heavily pigmented area of the dorsal fin of the male. It is next shown that the female lacks this heavily pigmented characteristic. Then we see fish which have been on different back- grounds—blue, black, white and yellow. In each case the pigment corresponding to the predominant color has been dispersed while the other pigments are in various stages of concentration. Cinemicrographs show dividual pigment cells from isolated scales, individual pigment cells from isolated scales, concentrated pigment and dispersed pigment. Blood corpuscles in the capillaries are pointed out and pigment distribution at the posterior margin of the operculum. Pigment distribution in and around the eye is shown and at the angle of the jaw. The iridosomes are shown up prominently by reflected light and attention is called to the myotomes and myosepta, the zig-zag muscle markings. This is an example of change brought about by neural and humoral con- trol. An entirely different method is dem- onstrated with the squid Loiigo. We are shown newly hatched larvae and are shown that pigment is contained in elastic sacs which are changed in shape and area by the contraction of muscles. Rapid color changes are produced. Cilia are shown on the margin of the head. We see the gills, the heart. By this method color changes are brought about by the contraction of muscle fibers under control of the nervous system "Highly technical film restricted almost entirely to use in advanced courses in col- lege. Color—fair. Treatment of subject— accurate and complete, however, the theme seems to move too slowly. Portions of the film dealing with actual changes in color of fish are excellent."

IR 16-si-$60; rent $3 1939 Rutgers 591.92 ALSO AVAILABLE FROM 16mm: Ohio Okla "Illustrating [in color] the representatives of this group commonly used in zoology laboratories, the film brings to the students a near approach to actual field observation of the living forms, and in addition brings details often overlooked or difficult to dem- onstrate. Asterias, the common starfish of the Maine coast, is shown in all its loco- motor and feeding activities. The tube feet and pedicellariae are shown in detail, and the everted stomach clearly seen. An attempt to open the valves of a living mus- sel is of considerable interest, because it illustrates the typical method of feeding on bivalve moUusks.
