Next to the glassy membrane is the outer root-sheath, the most conspicuous part of the hair-fol- licle. It consists of a thick stratified epithelium of exactly the same nature as the stratum Malpighii of the epidermis, with which it is directly continuous, and from which it is developed. In the outer root- sheath the layer of cells next to the glassy membrane is columnar, just like the deepest layer of cells in the stratum Malpighii; then follow inwards several layers of polyhedral cells; and, finally, flattened nucleated scales form the innermost boundary of the outer root-.
