are more obscure in'this, than in any instance I have yet met 
with. 
I have not been able to trace them into the mass, although 
the lax smaller cellular tissue at the apex of this, obviously 
represents the embryo as it exists in others of same type, 
. and this is the more remarkable because the more developed 
embryo I have observed sometime back to be most distinctly 
flamento-funicular. a green, b red, c c sac. 
Fig. II. Cavity occupied by a cellular body, above with 
` large simple empty cells, below with more numerous, and 
more close with granules. "This body is connected above 
With at least some of the sacs. 
Composed of dense red cutis, the dense green rather 
thick tissue, the rest white first a layer thickest below the 
young viscum curved and thickest above the dense central 
tissue. 
In this instance one tube was seen applied to the cellular 
Mass, but no tubes were seen inside it, nor were any seen in 
the mass itself.

Opaque central line caused by the embryo. 
This embryo consists to the top of a long clavate irregular 
‘filament containing green globules the large and short cells 
intervene, then the long tissue of the base of the embryo, the 
‘Collatral tissue only commencing.

- The anomalies are great, upwards the production of cellular 
tissue, in the great size of young albumen before the embryo 
appears, its lateral attachment, in the late appearance of the 
her tubes, and in the simple filatnent of suspension.
