It is only through about the lower 4 of the central tissue 
~ that these enlarged and irregular lines are evident, this is 
= easily accounted for. 
I believe the sacs can develope (4) oblong cells from the 
apex independent of fecundation.

Bud 2 lines long. The style presents in its lower part at 
least a slit-like cavity which extends below its base into the 
ovarium, the fundus is occupied by a conical-shaped process 
of mucilagino cellular tissue. Iodine at this period does not 
exert its particular amylaceous action on any part, but the 
nipple and the sides of the canal of style are more darkly 
fuscous than the rest.
