DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XIY. 

 Bacillus Leprae. 



FIG. 1. From a section of the skin of a leper. The section is, almost in 

 its entirety, stained red, and, with moderate amplification, has a finely 

 granular appearance. Stained by the Ziehl-Neelsen method (carbolised 

 fuchsine and methylene-blue). x 200. 



FIG. 2. Part of the same preparation with high amplification, showing that 

 the appearances described above are due entirely to an invasion of the 

 tissue by the bacilli of leprosy, x 1500.
