On the contrary, bone from which ossein has been removed, subsists as a coherent structure though its resistance is greatly decreased. In addition, the polarizing microscope and the low- and wide-angle x-ray dif- fraction patterns demonstrate that the structural orientation of the inorganic fraction is unmodified. Finally the curve of form birefringence can be recorded from the bone without ossein (see above). (f) It is very important to note that the change observed in the low-angle scatter of the bone from which ossein has been removed according to Ga- briel's method appears as new evidence of the neces- sity to interpret the low-angle scatter of the bone as organic ellipsoidal particles enclosed in the holes circumscribed by the inorganic fraction. Indeed such a change is neither related to the orientation nor the physical state of the inorganic crystallites, both con- ditions being unmodified by Gabriel's treatment, according to the wide-angle x-ray diffraction pat- terns. Therefore it is more plausible to maintain that in the homogeneous body pertaining to the inorganic bone fraction the removal of the organic substance from
