This corneous layer presents two distinct strata, whichcorrespond in a general way in their appearance and staining reac-tions to the stratum lucidum and stratum corneum of the deeper layer, 35 micra in thickness, stains deeply in eosin, par-ticularly at the deep and superficial margins, the intermediate por-. .. .^Stratum contemn ? • Stratum lucidum - - .

This layer is composed of flattened cells,elongated, spindle-shaped in section, with a flattened nucleus rod-shaped in section. The superficial layer, 17 micra in thickness atits thickest portion, stains but faintly in eosin. It consists of cellsof irregular polygonal shape similar to those of the stratum corneumof the epidermis with the exception that remains of the nucleus areto be found in them, in the form of shrunken remains of the nuclearmembrane and one or two chromatic particles. 8 JKniil Goetsch. The stratum germinativum requires no special comment exceptthat its superficial layers contain no granules of eleidin. There is a gradual reduction in thickness of
