The central canal is narrow and nearly circular in section, while the cell itself is somewhat flat- tened. Thus when a number of cells are examined under the microscope some will appear much broader than others, while the canal in all of them is narrow. At the end the flax cell tapers gradually to a very sharp point, and the canal disappears at some distance from the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Winslow, C. -E.
