In Fig. 35 (page 98) we Fig. 33. or concentrating the nucleushave an illustrationof the size and ap-pearance of theblood-cell in a rep-tile, the photographfrom which this fig-ure was taken hav-ing been made un-der the same mag-nifying power asthat employed inobtaining the pho-tograph of humanblood. The cell wall of theblood-cells is gener-ally admitted to befibrin, or some sub-stance allied thereto; but there has been much differ-ence of opinion respecting the constitution of the nu-cleus of those cells which possess it. By some, this alsohas been regarded as fibrin; by others, as fat; and by
