Sometimes, during inflammatory pro- cesses, such cells become so large that they are called giant cells (Fig. 101); the small nuclei vary considerably both as to form and ai'rangement. Sometimes they are globalar vesicles, sometimes oval, sausage- ^(^S shaped, or lobulated bodies ; they may occur M^^, ^ '^ ^ ^-^^ singly and evenly distributed throughout the protoplasm, or they may be arranged in chains and circles; finally, isolated small nuclei are occasionally found arranged one after another in rows. As time goes on, small cells may become detached from the giant cells, as has been observed by Arnold. This may occur in one of two ways. fi&. loi.âa large muiti- " Sometimes the giant cell protrudes knob- nucleated cell, with nude- " -,.-,â¢â ⢠ated cells becoming con- like processes containing nuclei, which, su-icted off peripteraiij-. after having been withdrawn and again (After Arnold, pi. xiv., protruded several times, sooner or later °' become separated ; sometimes they become detached without any or only very slight movement on the part of the ; Cell division, accompanied by the phenomenon of direct nuclear division, has been observed in epithelial cells, as well as in lymph corpuscles; this occurs with especial frequency in Arthropods. They have been described by Johnson (YI. 41) and Blochmann (VI. 86) in the embryonic cells of the Scorpion ; by Platner (VI. 52) in the cells of the Malpighian tubes, and by other in- vestigators in other objects. A peculiar method of nuclear consti-iction has been described by Goppert (VI. 22), Flemming (VI. 16), von Kostanecki (VI. 46), and others. The most suitable object for observing it appe
