alcohol (ante, 637), and bringing the ova into one- third 

 glycerin in which is dissolved a little malachite green. The 

 " spheres attractives" stain green. See also BOVERL'S Zellen- 

 Studien (in Jen. Zeitschr. f. Naturw., xxi, -1887, p. 423, or 

 sold separately). 



The osmium and pyroligneous acid method of HERMANN has been de- 

 scribed in 233. It is said to give a so abundant reduction of the osmium 

 that no other stain is necessary. In the same place HEBMANN also recom- 

 mends a modification of the haBmatoxylin impregnation method of PAL 

 ( 692) : Testes of Proteus put for twelve to eighteen hours into hsema- 

 toxylin, 1 grm. ; absolute alcohol, 70 c.c. ; water, 30 c.c., in the dark, and 

 washed out for the same time in 70 per cent, alcohol, also in the dark. Sec- 

 tions having been made are treated with dilute pale rose-coloured solution 

 of permanganate of potash till they turn ochre-coloured, rinsed in water, 

 and washed out for removal of the brown peroxide of manganese in Pal's 

 oxalic acid mixture diluted with 5 to 10 volumes of water. They are finally 

 stained for three to five minutes in safranin. 



The iron-haematoxylin stain of BUTSCHLI and that of M. 

 HEIDENHAIN have been given in 196, 197.

640. Nucleus of BALBIANI (" Noyau Vitellin," " Cellule Embryo- 

 gene") (Zool. Anz., 1883, p. 659). This may be observed in the fresh state, 

 without the addition of any reagent, in the ova of some animals, amongst 

 others a great number of Arachnida and Myriapoda. It may be brought out 

 more distinctly by treating the ova with a mixture of equal parts of acetic 

 acid and 1 per cent, osmic acid, to which is added a little sodium chloride. 

 This mixture does not render ova so granular as pure dilute acetic acid. 



641. Cell-granules. These for the most part undoubtedly 

 metabolic products are best studied in gland-cells and blood- 

 and lymph-corpuscles, and in certain elements belonging to 

 the group of connective tissues, and the reader is therefore 

 referred to Chap. XXXI for the appropriate methods.
