344 SPECIAL HISTOLOGY. 



by the naked eye, on the nutritious arteries of the larger cylindrical 

 bones, and readily, by the microscope, on the smaller vessels ; those of 

 the periosteum must be studied after the membrane has been rendered 

 transparent by caustic soda or acetic acid. The costal and articular 

 cartilages are the most suitable for the study of cartilage, the membranes 

 of the cartilage-cells being evident, sometimes without any addition, 

 sometimes after that of acetic acid or soda, which render the matrix 

 transparent. The development of bone may be investigated in a cylin- 

 drical bone, and in the parietal bone ; the formation of the lacunae, in 

 specie, in rachitic bones, and in the osseous surfaces of the symphyses 



and synclwndroses.
