They did not do so, how-ever, for, provided a cell absorbed the alkaloid suffi-ciently, the extrusions were made in all directions asusual. In order to try to find out whether this excitationincreased the ingestion of bacteria by leucocytes, asample of fresh blood was mixed with a volume ofcitrate solution and atropine, which contained bacteriain suspension. Having been incubated for someminutes, the cells were spread on jelly; but when 1 This method will be found in the Appendix, where also another methodof preparing kinetic jelly will be found.
