The proper glandular substance isalso pervaded and supported by small but fine retiform tissue, mostlynon-nucleated (figs. 204, &, 205, a), communicating with that of thesurrounding lymph-sinus, but marked off fiom it by somewhat closer p 2. 212 LYMPHATIC SYSTEM. reticulation at their mutual boundary, not so close, liowever, as to pre-vent fluids, or even corpuscles, from passing from the one to the gland-pulp is made up of densely packed lymphoid cells, occupying theinterstices of its supporting retiform tissue, and is traversed by an abun-dant network of capillary blood-vessels {cl, d), which run throughoutthe proper glandular pulp, both cortical and medullary, but do not passinto the surrounding lymph-sinus. The lymphoid cells of the glandularpulp are similar in their general appearance to white blood- or lymph-corpuscles, except that their nucleus is relatively larger, and their proto-plasm much sm^aller in amount.
