In presenting my own views in contradistinction to theforegoing I wish to call especial attention to my method ofinvestigation. Ileretofore all examinations of blood cor-puscles have been made by transmitted light, from whichwe might anticipate, a jiriori, that, with instruments of thesame degree of perfection, similar results would be ob-tained. On the contrary, all of the research upon whichmy present convictions are based has been prosecuted bythe use of reflected light; the object resting upou a pol-ished jet slide.* The accompanying diagrams set forth faithfully the ap-pearance made manifest by this method when properlypursued. 230 DIAGRAM I. Diagram I.—a, represents the perfect, human blood cor-puscle. It will be seen that the center presents a slightelevation, surrounded by an annular depression, while thecircumference of the disc is, cornpatatively, thick, smoothand rounded. 6, represents a disc with serrated and shriveled margin,with a perfect central elevation remaining. c, a corpuscle without the central elevation. d, is a hypothetical diagram of a disc placed upon itsedge.
