STYXOSPOR'EL— These fuiigi were for- 

 merly included in the Coniomycetks; but 

 their external resemblance to the Pyreno- 

 MYCi^.TEs, of which they are indeed forms, 

 makes it desirable to give them a separate 

 name. 



STY'LOSPOEES. 

 — Stalked spores of 

 Coniomycetous Fun- 

 gi, usually compound 

 or septate, then pro- 

 bably consisting of a 

 row of independent 

 spores connected by 

 an adherent parent 

 sac — thus, structur- 

 ally, metamorphosed 

 asci ; they are some 

 times appendaged 



above (fig. 711) (see Stylospores of Pestalozzia.

 MYCETES). 



STY'SA'XUS.— A genus of Dematiei 

 (Mucedinous Fungi), characterized by a 

 stem consisting of an aggregation of threads, 

 bearing above at their extremities simple or 

 necklaces of spores. S. C(qmt-Medus(P. 

 (tig. 346, p. 406).

SUBLIMATION.— The npplication of 

 this process in tin; detection of arsenic and 

 antimony is alluded to at p. 7.3 ; but its 

 utility has been further shown in regard to 

 several other inorganic and organic sub- 

 stances — a little of the substance being 

 placed in a cup-like hollow in a piece of 

 platinum-foil, a cover laid on, and heat 

 applied until fusion and sublimation takes 

 phace, when the characteristic crystals are 

 found (Alkaloids).

SUCCINIC ACID.— This acid, which 

 occurs in amber, in all fermented liquids, 

 and in the contents of Udi inococcns-cjsts, 

 is pretty soluble in water, readily in hot but 

 with difficulty in cold alcohol, and but little 

 in ether. The ciystals belong to the ob- 

 lique prismatic system, and are represented 

 in PL 11. fig. 21.

SUDOEIP'AROUS GLANDS.— These 

 organs secrete the perspiration. 



They are found in most parts of the skin, 

 but in variable numbers in difierent locali- 

 ties. Thus it has been estimated that 417 

 exist in a square inch of the skin of the back 

 of the hand, 109-3 in an inch of the outside, 

 and 1123 in the inside of the forearm, and 

 2736 in an inch of the palm of the hand. 



Each gland consists of a long tube coiled
