B, Group of cells from seed of Nux-vomica, the protoplasts of adjoining cell-cavities connected by fine protoplasmic filaments. five times as thick as the window-pane itself. In other cases, however, the cell-wall becomes twenty or thirty times as thick as it was at first, and the interior of the cell is thereby seriously diminished in size. But even if, little by little, the cell-wall augments in thickness a hundredfold, any spot where thickening has not taken place from the first, and where, accordingly, a little depression occurs, is not subsequently covered with cellulose, but is carefully kept open by the protoplast as it builds. A greatly thickened wall of this kind resembles a fortification provided here and there with deep, narrow loopholes. Where two cells thus provided adjoin one another, the windows in the one occur, normally, exactly opposite those of its neighbour, and the result is the formation of canals, very long relatively, which penetrate through the two adjacent cell-walls and connect the neighbouring cell- cavities together (fig. 103). A canal of this kind is still closed, it is true, in the middle by the original cell-membrane as though by a lock-gate; but this slight obstruction may be removed later by solution, and the contiguous cells have then perfectly open connection through the canal. Very frequently provision is made in the very first rudiments of a cell-mem-.
