The majority preserved their himon throughout,although they frequently terminated in attenuated, solid, cellular processes,which sometimes were turned upon themselves. The intertubular youngconnective tissue was so very scanty that, on transverse section, many ofthe closely crowded tubules appeared to be separated merely by theiradventitia.
