First, he shows the normal epithelium cylinder, asa medium of comparison, and of these there were great quan-tities. Then come a number of bodies which we can recognize,when they are here placed in a row, as perversions of the cyl-inder, gradually increasing in rotundity and receding in likeness;but which in their extreme of dissimilarity would not be seen tohave any connection with it, except by a previous knowledge ofthe {After Buhl.) The majority of the enlarged cells were filled with , in which the fat was accumulated to a smaller amount,contained from two to ten rounded bodies exactly like the freepus-globules surrounding them—so like, that hardly any doubtcould be entertained that they were cells pregnant with pus-globules. As a rule, the groups of pus-globules lay close to thethick end of the cylinder; but often between the thick end andthe groups of pus-globules there was to be seen a degree of con-striction, making the cell bottle-shaped. Sometimes the tail ofthe cell was obliterated or torn off, when it was almost globular,but even then capable of recognition. In cells where there were only two or three globules thenucleus remained distinctly visible and perfect. In others thegranular globules seemed to be dividing and splitting up intofour or six, the original nucleus of the cylinder still remaining THE FORMATION OF MUCUS
