• The electronmicroscopic study of elastic tissue has been in progress for some time and many researchers have published the results of their work on the subject. Wolpers (13) (1944) obtained elastic tissues suitable in size for electronmicroscopic observation by treating the tissue with pepsin. He used orcein also for the purpose. According to Gross (8) (1949), an elastic fiber is composed of bundles of trypsinresistant threads and trypsinsensitive, heat resistant amorphous binding matrix; the threads are each composed of two interlaced filaments looking like a double helix evenly and tightly coiled, some measuring about 120 Å in width and others stretched in parallel-running pairs of filaments. Franchi and De Robertis and Schmit (7) (1951) rejected Gross's view by asserting that the double-helix like structure observed by Gross was a contaminant derived from trypsin itself. Hall (5) (1955) also denied the presence of any such threads. Our electronmicroscopic observation of elastic fibers and the results reached will be reported below.
