CORALLINE VEUM JAPONIC^. 3 



Bohmer's Hematoxylin for 20-40 minutes, and then Fuchsin (0.3 gr. 

 in 100 cc. bO% ale.) for one hour. The genicular cells and spores 

 stain in red, and the cellwall in purple. Decalcifying, fixing and 

 staining at the same time with Schneider's Aceto-carmin, and 

 afterwards staining the section with Bohmer's Hematoxylin also 

 answers pretty well. 



The writer wishes to express his hearty thanks to Prof. Dr. J. 

 Matsumura under whose direction he executed the work ; also to 

 Mr. M. Foslie who generously spared him the specimens which he 

 got from the late Prof. Areschoug, Le Jollis and others ; and to 

 Dr. K. Okamura, Prof. Dr. K. Miyabe, Major Th. Reinbold, and 

 Prof. Dr. M. Miyoshi, for their kind gifts of specimens and for 

 valuable advice.
