CYTOLYSOMES IN AMPHIBIAN ERYTHROCYTES

The presence of clusters of granular and vacuolar bodies in the cytoplasm of mature erythrocytes of many, but not all, species of urodeles is well established. They were extensively studied with vital staining techniques, but no reliable evidence about their cellular function was obtained. Various authors have described them as parasites, artefacts, centrosomes, nuclear emissions, Golgi bodies, and segregation apparatus (Dawson, 1932). Dawson and Charipper (1929) made a survey of urodele erythrocytes in an attempt to correlate the presence or absence of these bodies with the
