In 1S58 l^AGELi made known the results of his investigations relative to the growth of substances capable of imbibition (as opposed to crystals), especially starch-grains and cell-membranes. The chief conclusion arrived at is that growth of starch-grains and cell-walls is hy intussusception and not by apposition as in crystals. (The cell- wall will be discussed later.) Stratification of starch-grains is not the result of deposits of successive layers so that the outermost layer is the youngest. On A.
