Cells from smear of perivisceral fluid stained with Ehrlich's triacid stain, a, leucocyte; b, amebocyte with basophilic spherules; c, amebocyte with acidophilic spherules. X 1200. The red spherules are acidophilic in reaction and stain a brilliant red (Fig. 2). These spherules retain their spherical shape, and are as sharply distinct in the fixed, as in the living material. Some of these spherules exhibit stages of degeneration and stain less strongly than others, a fact which leads to the inference that they may possibly be the spherules of amebocytes with yellow spherules, since the latter present no other definite tinctorial reaction. The relative number of cells with faintly acidophilic spherules corresponds in general with the number of amebocytes with yellow spherules in the living condition. In smears fixed in the fumes of 2 per cent, osmic acid the spherules of the amebocytes are preserved and are sharply out- lined in black. The color differences between the spherules are lost. The positive reaction of the spherule membrane to the osmic acid as contrasted to the solubility of spherule content is interpreted to mean that the albuminous part of the spherule is its content, and that the lecithin part forms the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
