Abstract
Long, pleomorphic microvilli project from the walls of adjacent secretory cells in the lacrymal glands of sea turtles, and a substance identified histochemically as a mucopolysaccharide fills the intercellular channels. These features are not characteristic of the principal secretory cells in the salt glands of marine birds.Keywords
