Abstract
As a result of electron-microscope studies on a selection of mammalian hairs, evidence is presented of the existence of an interlinking mechanism between the cortex and the cuticle. The occurrence of these interpenetrating devices is greater in vicuna hair and guanaco hair than in wool, and it is suggested that the mechanism of phagocytosis may be involved in their formation.
