INFLAMMA TION. 



At the surface of the injured scapula of a dog, on the fourth 

 day of inflammation, I met with well-marked features indicative 

 of a new formation of blood-corpuscles and blood-vessels. (See 

 Fig. 159.) 



I saw enlarged cavities in the basis-substance, deprived of 

 lime-salts, containing a number of bright, yellowish, homogene-

others vacuoled and elongated, and, again, others considerably 

 enlarged by vacuolation. In all cavities produced by vacuolation, 

 isolated haeinatoblasts in varying numbers could be seen beside 

 a pale granular mass. By coalescence of vacuoled bioplasson 

 bodies tubular formations originated, which were divided into a
