Abstract
Lepidocephalichthys guntea shows the development of large acidophil (eosinophilic) cells as well as both abductor and adductor muscles in the gills. The presence of large number of taste-buds on the margin of the primary lamella is a new result reported here. These taste-buds when cut across at the base or at the middle, give the appearance of transitional or multicellular branchial glands as erroneously reported by BEVELANDER (1935).
