    Notes: The general morphology of the gills is similar in larval (ammocoetes) and parasitic adult sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, despite different methods of ventilation necessitated by their feeding habits.The gill lamellae are supported by randomly-distributed pillar cells which enclose blood spaces and collagen columns. The distribution of these cells in lampreys is different from that of higher fishes and it may be inefficient for respiratory exchange. The presence of cytoplasmic microfilaments suggests that these cells have the ability to reduce the lamellar blood spaces through contraction. Marginal channels at the tips of the lamellae are lined only by endothelial cells.The thickness of the water-blood pathway in lampreys falls within the range described for higher fishes, with the most efficient gas exchange likely occurring at the lamellar tips where only a single layer of epithelial cells is present. The abrupt increase in height of the epithelium near the lamellar bases in adults, compared to the gradual transition in height along the lamellae in ammocoetes, is perhaps reflective of higher oxygen requirements during the parasitic stage. The consistent appearance of wide, lateral intercellular spaces within the respiratory epithelium of lampreys indicates possible involvement of these spaces in transport.Mucous secretion appears to be an important function of the superficial platelet cells in ammocoetes. “Mitochondria-rich” and “mitochondria-poor” superficial cells are observed in both ammocoetes and adults, with the mitochondria-rich cells more prevalent toward the lamellar bases. The possibility that at least some of these cells may be involved in absorption is discussed. Mitochondria-rich cells in the interlamellar region are morphologically different in ammocoetes and adults but all possess an abundance of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and hence resemble “chloride cells” of higher fishes. The similarity of these cells in the parasitic adult lamprey to chloride cells of marine fishes may reflect the potential of the adult lamprey to osmoregulate in salt water. A scarcity of these cells in ammocoetes and their resemblance to chloride cells in freshwater fishes may reflect the restriction of larval lampreys to a freshwater habitat.

    Notes: The photochemical dehalogenation of 1,2,4-tribromobenzene, 1,2,3,5-tetrabromobenzene and pentachlorobenzene in open-air solutions of acetonitrile using natural and artificial sunlight as the irradiation source has been investigated. The regiochemistry of mono-dehalogenation has been determined for 1,2,4-tribromobenzene and 1,2,3,5-tetrabromobenzene. Pentachlorobenzene did not react. 1,2,4-Tribromobenzene yielded three products, 1,4-dibromobenzene, 1,3-dibromobenzene and 1,2-dibromobenzene with isomer percentages of 52±1%, 39±2% and 9±1%, respectively. 1,2,3,5-Tetrabromobenzene yielded 1,3,5-tribromobenzene, 1,2,4-tribromobenzene and 1,2,3-tribromobenzene with relative product percentages of 60±2%, 29±2%, 11±1%. © 1998 SCI
