 Peeitoneal Epithelum of the Cat. 



Pig. 1. Epithelium from the omentum. 



Pig. 2. Epithelium from the suspensory ligament. 



Pig. 3. Epithelium from the mesentery. 



Pig. 4. Epithelium from the mesentery, showing that the loca- 

 tion of the majority of the discontinuities is at the 

 intersection of the intercellular lines. A few dots 

 are seen which, if situated on intercellular lines, 

 would be called stigmata. 



Pig. 5. Epithelium from the suspensory ligament. ^N'ote the 

 small figures of regular outline; some situated on 

 the intercellular lines, others on the cells them- 

 selves. The only difference between them is their 

 situation; if they are to be called stigmata in one 

 situation, why not in the other ? 



Pig. 6. Epithelium from the mesentery. This preparation 

 shows the widely divergent character of the inter- 

 cellular discontinuities.
