Like blood, again, chyle often remains for a long time in its vesselswithout coagulating, but coagulates rapidly on being removed fromthem.^ Dr. Prout has detailed the changes, which the chyle experiences inits passage along the chyliferous apparatus. In each successive stage,its resemblance to blood was found to be increased. Another point ofanalogy with blood is the fact, observed by Mr. Bauer,^ and subse-quently by MM. Prevost and Dumas,* and others, that the chyle,when examined by the microscope, contains globules or corpuscles;differing from those of the blood in their being of a smaller size, theaverage being ^^^Q^th of an inch, and devoid of colouring matter.
