By increased pressure, however, that boundary linedisappears, and the colloid-globules become confluent. Theselarger colloid-globules, therefore, like the smaller ones, appearto be drops or lumps of a semi-fluid, jelly-like substance with-out pellicle or external membrane. 4. Similar Colloid-globules enclosing one or severed round COLLOID-GLOBULES. 99 granulated aggregations.—Globules with one such group ofgranules are more commonly met with. They generally aresmaller, and of a circular shape (figs. 14, 15). Fig. 14. Fig. In some globules but a narrow interstice between the centralgroups of granules and the surrounding margin exists, andthey are nearly identical with those free agglomerations ofgranules with a delicate dark margin, which have been alreadydescribed (Xo. 2). (See figs. 7, 8.) Colloid-globules, containing several agglomerations, have anirregular form, dependent on the number and arrangement ofthe granular groups. Their convexities will correspond withthe masses, and the intervening sulci with the interstices betweenthem (figs. 16, 17). Ficr. 16. X«00 Fig. 17-
