Photomicrographs of the pulps secured in cooks 75, 74, 72,. and 71are shown in Plates I, II, III, and IV. It will be noted that there isa gradual change in the appearance of the fibers. Cook 75 was madewith liquor containing per cent of combined S02, and cook 71with per cent. The former contains much lignified fiber, whilethe latter seems to be thoroughly cooked. Bui. 620, U. S.
