He has never seen the glands project on the surface of the patch ; they are placed below and between the swollen mucousridges, and in the later stages are completely buried beneath the inflamed surface. When this covering becomes disintegrated they are discovered lyingdeeply in the abundant submucous tissue and exhibiting little or no increase of size. The cellular texture is infiltrated with finely granular corpusclesof various sizes, chiefly spherical and averaging 35*35 of an inch in diameter. In the more advanced and ulcerated patches the cells are equally numer-ous, but are large and of more uniform size, averaging 5^55 of an inch, and a little more darkly granular.
