free spaces, and few are being extruded, in colour they stain bright red ins-

 vacuolation and the lymph spaces are wide.

At the cardiac end the mucigen cups are very pale, of fair size and con- 

 tain numerous small pale blue granules. Externally the cups project but 

 little and are flattened, whilst at their inner ends they are concave. The 

 nuclei corne close up to the cups, the minute amount of protoplasm between 

 them contains no red granules. The nuclei are wrinkled with blue pleated 

 envelopes, they hâve a shrivelled appearance and contain very little chro- 

 matin either free or adhèrent to the wall. The karyosomes are of fair size 

 though few in number and blue in colour, the lanthanin granules are also 

 few in number though of large size and of pale blue colour. The nucleoli 

 are small, a few are apparently about to be expelled. The nuclei measure 



i«,3 X 7,1 1^. 



The inner ends of the cells are very pale blue, thin and homogeneous 

 looking, the lymph spaces wide, especially in the connective tissue below 

 the epithelium. The cells measure 50 i-^. 



Thèse cells are evidently again nearing exhaustion after having recove- 

 red from their first call to secrète. 



At the pyloric end a similar condition obtains but the mucigen stains 

 more duskily and the granules appear more numerous and smaller. The 

 nuclei are in most cases though not in every cell, close up to the cups, 

 they are wrinkled to some extent with little chromatin of a blue colour in 

 them, the lanthanin granules are of médium size, fairly abundant and violet 

 coloured; the nucleoli are small, red or venous in colour and some are being 

 expelled. The inner ends of the cells are grey or red grey with very minute 

 vacuoles, between the cells the lymph spaces are of médium size.

At the upper end of the stomach the mucigen cups are fairly long, stain 

 of a greyish colour, and contain numerous granules; they are flattened 

 externally and hardly project beyond the cément; internally they are straight 

 or slightly concave. The nuclei lie close up tb the bases of the cups, there 

 being very little protoplasm between them, and no red granules. The nuclei 

 are somewhat wrinkled with thin walls to which little chromatin adhères ;
