The Greek letter « is used to designateoxyphilic granules. Example: eosinophiles of humanblood. 2. Amphophilic (&n(poi, both)—refers to those tis-sues staining equally well with either an acid or abasic stain. Example: the bone marrow of are no amphiphilic granules in human Greek letter p is used to designate amphophilicgranules. 3. Basophilic refers to tissues taking only basicstains. Example: Mast cells. The Greek letter j-isused to designate basophihc granules. 4. Xeutropliilic refers to tissues requiring both anacid and a basic stain. Example: polynuclearleucocytes. The Greek letter e is used to designateneutrophilic granules. (The word neutrophilic is a.

Oude-terophiUc (ouSerepos, neither), would be more correctbut not as simple, perhaps, as the present word.) In order to demonstrate these staining reactionsof the various blood corpuscles and their granules,the stains should be each in turn applied to specimensof blood; then the specimens should be examinetl,and those parts which take the stain should benoted. For example, subject a specimen of blood to anacid stain—eosin. Result: Red cells stained; eosiiio-phile granules stained; granules of polynuclearleucocytes verj fainth- tinged; all ehe unstained. Subject a specimen of blood to a basic stain—methyl
