Fig. 18. — Cells of the pancreas in Amphibia. [MATHEWS.] A-C. Necturiis; D. Rana. A and B represent two stages of the "loaded "cell, showing zynnogen-granules in the peripheral and fibrillar structures in the basal part of the cell. C shows cells after discharge of the granule-material and invasion of the entire cell by fibrillae. In D por- tions of the fibrillar material are coiled to form the mitosome (" paranucleus " or " Nebenkern "). (Figs. 21, 31), where they are likewise more or less clearly visible in life. A very convincing case is afforded by the pancreas-cells of Nectnrus, which Mathews has carefully studied in my laboratory. Here the thread-work consists of long, conspicuous, definite fibrillae, some of which may under certain conditions be wound up more or less closely in a spiral mass to form the so-called Nebenkern. In all these cases it is impossible to regard the thread-work as an accidental coagulation-product. In the case of echinoderm eggs, I have made ('99) a critical comparison of the living structure, as seen under powers.
