(see Fig. 96). It is instructive to watch red corpuscles passing iu single filethrough a capillary the calibre of which, at the time, is actually less than theshorter diameter of the corpuscles. Through such a capillary each corpuscleis squeezed, with lengthening and narrowing of its soft mass, but on emerginginto a larger its elasticity at once corrects even this deformity ; it regainsits form, and passes on (Fig. 97). Evidences of Friction.—In the minute , capillary and other, cer-tain appearances should carefully be observed which are the direct ocularevidence of that friction which M-e shall find to be one of the prime forcesconcerned in the blood-movement, to which it constitutes a strong , in a channel which admits three red corpuscles beside one another, threebe observed when just abreast, it will be found that very
