THE RATIOS OF THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE CELL BODY AND THE 

 NUCLEUS AND THE RATIOS OF THE VOLUME OF THE CYTO- 

 PLASM TO THE VOLUME OF THE NUCLEUS 



To examine the relation between the cell size and nuclear 

 size the original data were arranged in six groups, as are given 

 in table 7, which contains all the data, taken from thirty-eight 



TABLE 6 



Comparison between the cells and the miclei from the right and left sides of the same 



rats; on body weight. Diameters in n 



albino rats from 5.3 grams to 330 grams in body weight and 

 from birth to 485 days in age. 



The values for the first group were taken as 1.00. In the case 

 of the cell body, the ratios of the enlargement increase rapidly 

 from the first group to the second, show a relatively slow increase 

 up to the fourth group (87.6 grams in body weight), reach the
