It will be understood that averages only are spoken of, as all kinds of variations occur, some of wWch wUI be referred to later, and their significance explained. The nze of the corpuscles in the domestic animals is variable-a matter of importance when transfusion of blood is under consideration. Under the microscope the blood of vertebrates is seen to owe ite color to the cells chiefly, and, so far as the red goes, almort ' wholly. Corpuscles when seen singly are never of the deep red, however, of the blood as a whole, but rather a yellowidi red, the tinge varying some- what with the class of animals from which the specimen has been taken. Certain other mor- phological elements found in mammalian blood deserve brief menti >n, though their — significance is as yet from haman subject (JJnke). -^-tA-- of mUch dis- A few coloSeM cotpnicles we teen among the col- a mailer oi mucii uis- oted dinks, which ate many of them arranged In the circuhition, and rapidly break up when blood is shed. 2 On a slide of blood that has been prepared for some Uttle time, aggregations of very minu'^ granules (elementary »mn- «fc») ^y^ seen. These are supposed to represent the dism- tesrrating protoplasm of the corpuscles. The pakor colorless corpuscle are very few in number m mammals compared with the red, thew being on the average only about 1 in 400 to 600, though they become much more numerous after a meal. They are granular in appearance, and possess one or more nuclei, which are not, however, readily.
