number of chambers by transverse or oblique septa, the remnants 

 of the hollowed bodies. The septa eventually disappearing by 

 liquefaction and wasting of the bioplasson, a common caliber i& 

 established, irregularly bounded 

 by flattened layers of unchanged 

 bioplasson, exhibiting in their 

 optical diameter a number of 

 nodulations. This tube is in a 

 direct communication with hol- 

 low offshoots, exhibiting the 

 same features, and terminating s 

 either blindly or in cavities de- 

 stitute of a bounding layer, but 

 containing haematoblasts. 



In the scapula plate of a cat, 

 on the third day of the artifi- 

 cially induced inflammation, I 

 observed solid bioplasson tracts, 

 which arose from the border of 

 a medullary space, ran along the 

 lamellae, and connected several 

 enlarged and homogeneous bone- 

 corpuscles. Not infrequently the 

 bone-corpuscle next to the me- 

 dullary space was most enlarged, 

 and appeared hollow, while the 

 distant corpuscles of the chain 

 were solid. I also observed fin- 

 ished tubules, terminating in a 

 solid point and traversed by 

 transverse septa or their rem- 

 nants, indicative of the origin of 

 the tubule. Such tubules always 

 contained a varying number of 

 isolated solid bioplasson lumps, 

 the " haematoblasts, " to- 

 gether with finely granular,

In many specimens obtained from inflamed bone, up to the
