But the name was suggested by, and first used only for, cells iu combination or built up into a fabric, much as a wall is built of bricks, that is, into a 401. Cellular Structure or Tissue. Suppose numerous cells like those of Fig. 4:37 to be heaped up Hke a pile of cannon-balls, and as they grew, to be compacted together while soft and yielding; they would flatten where they touched, and each sphere, being touched by twelve surrounding ones would become twelve-sided. Fig. 438 would represent one of them. Suppose the contiguous faces to be united into one wall or partition be- tween adjacent cavities, and a cellular structure would be formed, like that shown in Fig. 439. Hoots, stems, leaves, and the whole of phan- erogamous plants are a fabric of countless num- bers of 8\ich cells. No such exact regularity in size and shape is ever actually found; but a nearly truthful magnified view of a small portion of 1 slice of the flower-stalk of a Calla Lily (Fig. 440) shows a fairly corres-
