The colostrum corpuscle is a spherical body four or five times largerthan the milk globule, and measuring 13/i to 40;u in diameter. Itcontains fat in the granular and globular state. The colostrum cor-puscle is considered by some as a degenerated leukocyte (Czerny).They are amebic and phagocytic and are found at times to containbacteria if such are present in the breasts. The coloring matter of 88 NUTRITION AND INFANT FEEDING colostrum is contained in the colostrum corpuscle. These colostrumcorpuscles are the distinguishing feature of colostrum as compared tomilk, and so long as they are present in the milk to any appreciable. Fig. 15 Fig. 16
