AM@B IN INTESTINES IN CASES OF GOITRE IN GILGIT. 733 
which I am describing. Wenyon has found that the refractile 
body of HK. muris “‘stains feebly, and shows a coarse reti- 
cular structure,” and that on breaking up “the separate parts 
shrink to form masses which stain deeply with hematoxylin.” 
The hyaline body I have described has not these characters. 
Schaudinn (4) has described the protoplasm of the encysted 
K. coli as “divisible into an onter and denser layer con- 
taining the nucleus and an inner and more liquid portion,”

Text-fig. 22—Ameba II. Group of amebe, the result of 
multiple division; a common appearance. 
Text-fig. 23.—The third ameeboid body. Shows the characteristic 
capsule and fissured protoplasm as observed in the fresh state. 
The drawing also shows a common position ef the four 
spherical nuclei. 
Text-fig. 24.—The third ameboid body. Shows the typical 
appearance of this organism when stained. Note the slightly 
beaded appearance of the nuclei, the presence of karyosomes, 
the position of the nuclei, and the manner in which they lie 
clumped together. The unstained capsule and the fissured 
protoplasm is well seen. 
and Wenyon considers that the more liquid portion probably 
corresponds to the refractile body of E. muris. It does not, 
however, correspond to the hyaline body of the amoeba under 
consideration. The characteristic port-wine reaction differen- 
tiates it from the yellow-staining granular protoplasm. This 
hyaline body is a conspicuous feature of the great majority
