 red corpuscles of the blood, 254.

 Corpuscle of chyle or lymph, of its tran- 

 sition into the red corpuscle of 

 the blood, xlvii, 254,277.

 pendently of the glands, 278.

 mals, 278-9. See Measurements.

 red corpuscles, 235, 254.

 phioxus, 273. 



contradictory evidence as to the 

 existence of, in splenic blood, 283 ; 

 seen in it, and compared with pale 

 corpuscles in other blood, 283. 

 Corpuscles of the thymus fluid, have the 

 same characters as the lymph-cor- 

 puscles, 259. 



on the question of their passage into 

 the lymphatics, 280-1. 



may be constantly in a state of disso- 

 lution and renovation, 281. 



more abundant than in the fluid of 

 the lymphatic glands, 281. 



considered, like lymph-corpuscles, as 

 nuclei or immature cells, 254, 281. 



supposed to be converted in the 

 spleen into red corpuscles of the 

 blood, 282-3.
