Mr. Grirrirai on the Ovulum of Santalum album, 67 
of the tube is visible from the ruptured apex, of which molecules are 
escaping. To the dilated apex of the tube two filaments and some 
remains of cellular tissue are seen to adhere ; cells are likewise seen 
adhering to the margins of the upper half of the tube. The vesicle 
is visible within the dilated apex, and appears to be continuous with 
the grumous process. At its base 4 globules are seen. The upper 
half of the grumous process is very distinct ; below this, however, it 
is broken up. The commencement of the development of the basilar 
inner cell is distinct, but its intrusion has not yet taken place. 
Fig. 9. Represents the dilated exserted part of the membranous tube of an ovu- 
lum, from an ovarium 24 lines in length. This is torn partially, so as 
to expose what appears to be a large cell with very fine walls. Within 
this the innermost small cellule is visible, and appears filled with 
grumous matter. The faint line visible at its base, and which appears 
continuous with the second fine cell, marks its line of origin. The 
constricted, or rather, narrow exserted portion, is occupied also by 
molecules in a state of aggregation. The apex of the nucleus re- 
mains. 
I may here remark that I am by no means certain of the existence 
of the fine large cell above mentioned. "The innermost small cellule 
exists, I may almost say, invariably. 
Fig. 10. Represents an ovulum from an ovarium 22 lines in length. The apex 
of the ovulum alone remains. The base of the membranous tube is 
much enlarged, and has evidently become cellular. At the same 
time there is much less granular matter (molecules) observable in 
its tissue. This cellular part appears to be prolonged upwards in the 
form of 2 or 3 cells. a, a, a. Between this part and the apex there 
is much grumous matter, composed almost entirely of small grant 
and which presents traces of subdivision, the tendency to bnc. 
being most distinct at the apex. Adhering to the margins of the 
tube towards its apex, remains of the cellular tissue of the placenta 
are visible. The vesicle is very distinctly seen within the apex, ce 
extreme part of which appears sphacelated. To it a filament is 
seen adhering.
