 There were also a large number of monilated chains ^ 

 of various lengths, though mostly short j a large number 

 of small spherical Torula cells with mere granular 

 contents, and a smaller number of ovoid, vacuolated 

 cells. There were, in addition, a considerable number 

 of brownish nucleated spores, gradually increasing in 

 size from mere specks about ^W in diameter, up to 



' in diameter j and also a small quantity of
