Since the epidermis contributes nothing to the firmness of the body walls, all j^rotective structures arise from the derma, which is composed of many layers of dense connective tissue and furnishes the characteristic dermal skeleton, the scales. These lie at the boundary of ejiidermis and derma, commonly imbedded in joockets of the latter, and are, on account of their different structure, of systematic value, although the classification based entirely upon them is no longer retained. Tlie placoid scales (fig. 5.54, 587, .0 have already been men- tioned, because they form the starting point for dermal ossifica- tions and teeth (p. 51.5). They are rhombic bony pilates, usually close together like a mosaic, but not overlap2iing. In the centre of each is a spine, directed back- wards, in which is a pulp) cavity, while the tip of the spine is cov- ered with a cap of hard substance, variously called enamel or vitro- dentine. The ganoid scales (fig. 587, o) are usually rhomboid and arranged like parquetry. In the early stages they may bear teeth. The outer surface is always covered with a thick layer of ' ganoin,'which gives, even in fossils, an iridescent effect, a most characteristic feature. The ganoin is no longer regarded as enamel, but the most sujierficial layer of dentine (vitrodentine). Cycloid and ctenoid scales are closely related. They are always more loosely jilaced in the pockets, from wliich they are easily witli- drawn as in ' scaling ' a fish. The)' are arranged in oblique, trans- verse, and longitudinal rows, and overlap like shingles, one scale covering the parts of two scales behind. The cycloid scales (fig. 5S7, 1) are ajiproximately circular with a middle j^oint, surrounded by concentric lines, from which go radiating lines. The ctenoid scale (S) has the radial and concentric lines of the cycloid, but has the iiinder edge truncate and the free portion bearing small sjiines or teeth, jirocesses of the concentric ridges. Besides these types of scales many fishes bear considerable Text Appearing After Image: Fin -Scales of fislies. i, cyciuid; , ganoid; i, placoid. ctenoid but these are lost in the adult.
