It may be worth while to remark that the prickles ofthe different cells do not fit into one another like cog-wheels, as was formerly supposed, but consist of minutefibres which connect one cell with another. In these cellsthe prickles are unusually large. vSsfv. 568 REFERENCE HANDBOOK OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES. The structure of all these cells is peculiar ; all prob-ably contain vacuoles whose contents cannot be vacuoles often form a ring around the nucleus anddivide the cellinto two portions:an outer layer,and a thin layerwhich surroundsthe nucleus and isconnected with itby narrow bridg-es. The width ofthe outer layeroften amounts toone-tenth the di-ameter of the vacuoles arealways separatedfrom the nucleiby a layer of pro-toplasm, which issometimes so thinthat it is with dif-ficulty detected.
