 note = {Ossicles in the eyeball sclera of 21 teleost species were investigated descriptively.
Sclera contained at most two ossicles which occupied anterior and posterior poles
of the scleral equator. However, ossicles were not observed in the sclera of the eel
Anguilla japonica, the bandfish Trichiurus lepturus and the grass puffer Fugu
niphobles, and only anterior ossicle in the flatfish Limanda herzensteini. Especially for the marlin Makaira mitsukurii and the tuna Thunnus thynnus orientalis, a
skeletal ring was formed in conjunction of the two developed ossicles. The difference of the sclera was discussed from the standpoint of external muscular system
of the eyeball.},
