Red and white blood corpuscles in a drop of blood which had just 

 been removed from the finger X 2,800 . * The large smooth circular 

 bodies are the red corpuscles. Three very small red corpuscles are less 

 than the -J-_th of an inch in diameter. The smallest particles are 

 composed of matter like that of which the white blood corpuscle 

 or blood bioplast (6) consists. Threads of fibrine are being formed 

 by the coagulation of the minute particles of biopla"sm of tjie blood. 

 These are seen between the corpuscles in the upper and lower part 

 of the field, a red corpuscle exhibiting angular projections Above 

 it and to the left is another with still more pointed processes.
