These in generalappearance resemble the pale corpuscles of the blood, but are larger, witha clearer protoplasm and a relatively larger nucleus. Like the pale cor-puscles, they exhibit amoeboid movements. Amongst them are smallercells which present a reddish colour, and resemble in aj^i^earance theprimitive nucleated corpuscles of the embryo (fig. 98,/—t); these are thecells which have been described as representing transitional forms betweenthe proper marrow-cells and red blood-disks (vide ante, p. 37). Fig. Fig. 98.—Cells of the red marrow of the guinea-pig. Highly magnified. (E. A. S.) a, a large cell tlie nucleus of which apj)ears to be partly divided into three by constric-tions; h, a cell the enlarged nucleus of which shows an appearance of being constrictedinto a number of smaller nuclei ; c, a so-called giant-cell or myeloplaxe with manynuclei; d, a smaller myeloplaxe with three nuclei ; e—i, proper cells of the marrow ;j—t, various forms of coloured nucleated cells. Other cells have occasionally been noticed containing one or more redcorpuscles in their interior : whether these have been developed i7i situin a manner similar to that previously described in connective tissuecorpuscles of the young animal, or have been taken into the interior ofan amoeboid cell, there to be transformed into pigment granules, is notcertainly known. Cells containing reddish pigment granules are, how-ever, not uncommon. There farther occur in the marrow, especially in
