Obs. The trigones at the angles of the cells are sometimes almost as 
large as the cells themselves; and the lumen (or cavity) of each cell being 
subcontiguous to that of the cell at each end of it, but widely separated 
from the lumen of the collateral cells, causes the cells to resemble strings 
of minute oblong pearls, alternating with rows of smaller, angular and 
yellowish beads (the trigones).
