In some cases thick-walled cells of cir- cular outline may be seen in transverse section to stand out from the [;en- eral line of the epithelium and lie within the cavity proper. More rarely such cells are so multiplied as to fill the entire cavity, and they may themselves be filled with granular resin. Such features arc clearly defined (fig. 39), and it is evident from the way in which such cells originate from the epithe- lial cells that they are of the nature of thyloses. A longitudinal section through such a reservoir (fig. 41) shows how such thyloses occupy the entire cavity of the cyst, while in other cases they may be purely local /fig. 40). Among fossil Sequoias similar thyloses form a most characteristic feature in the resin passages of the medullary rays in S. Burgessii and S.
