These cells and cell-spacesform in many parts an intercommunicating network of varying finenessextending throughout the substance of the tissue (fig. 199, d, d, Fig. 199,.

Not unfrequentlythe cells in such a patch take on the wavy border described aboveas met with in the lymphatics of origin (see the isolated patchesin fig. 197). Further, the flattened cells which form the walls ofthe lymphatics are connected here and there both with the moreramified cells of the tissue (fig. 199, e) and Avith those which form 206 LYMPHATIC SYSTEM. the epithelioid patches, and in silvered preparations they appear to becontinuous with one another. The epithelioid patches look in fact likea part of the lymphatic vessels, and
