The walls of the wood-elements are, however, not lignified to the same extent. The primary layer of the wall is, as a rule, lignified most and contains but little cellulose. In con- sequence, on treatment with lignin-solvents, it becomes first dissolved while the secondary and tertiary membranes, although their lignin is also partially dissolved out, remain behind as a distinct framework of cellulose. With longer treatment destruc- tion of the tissue proceeds till only the pure cellulose membranes of the isolated cells remain. The ferments of many fungi act in this way; for example Trametes pini, as shown in Fig. 12; at a the wall is in its normal condition, showing a primary.

Hartig.) wall and two striated secondary membranes; at b the fungus- ferment has caused a splitting of the primary wall, which formerly appeared as a single layer, and the elements are separating from each other; the " filling-material" of the inter- cellular spaces (under c), and the ring of lime surrounding the cavity of the pit d, remain for a longer time; the right wall of the cell b consists only of cellulose, (as indicated by the striation being no longer shown, although still present); in the cell e the primary wall has disappeared, and the secondary and tertiary membranes thin off towards / in which only the ash constituents remain as fine granules, better seen in Fig. 13. In contrast to the ligniu-dissolving fungi, there are those which dissolve cellulose. When wood is treated with sulphuric. Please note that these images are extracted from s
