Isolated cells of stratified squamous epithelium :a, surface-cell; i and c, cells from middle layers ;</, from deepest stratum. then gradually expand in the direction parallel to the free surfece, andbecome, finally, converted intp the large thin scales so characteristicof the outer layers of stratified squamous epithelium. The cells constituting the middle strata are irregularly polyhedral,and not infrequently seem to be mutually connected by means ofdelicate processes, which bridge the inter\ening intercellular cleftsand establish a direct continuity between the neighboring cells ; whensuch elements are isolated, the delicate threads are broken and thedisassociated cells appear as if beset with minute spines: these con-
