In pigment cells (Fig. 35), Solger (II. 38)was able to make out the radiation sphereas a bright spot between the pigment gran-ules, and in consequence he concluded thatthe central corpuscle was present. In the epithelium of the lung, and in theendothelium and connective tissue cells ofthe peritoneum of Salamander larvce ( A, J)), Flemming found, almost withoutexception, that instead of a single central.

Forthe sake of clearness inthe figure, the central cor-puscle, surrounded by itsradiation sphere, has beendistinguished by a brightrinsr, which is not reallypresent in nature.

ITS CHEMICO-PHVSICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 57 corpuscle, two were present, lyinclose together, either in the im-mediate neighbourhood of theresting nucleus, or in an indenta-tion of it, directly in contactwith the nuclear membrane. Asa rule no radiation sphere was tobe seen in these cases ; some-times the two central corpuscles,instead of touching each otherclosely, were somewhat separatedfrom one another, and underthese circumstances the first com-mencement of a spindle formationbetween them was visible.
