 fibres, partly free and partly in intimate connection with the 

 latter'(Fig. e). The spiral-fibre masses have been seen also 

 in different stages of growth. In some of the solutions of 

 ammonic tartrate minute masses have been seen which were 

 obviously young fibres, the ultimate element of some of these
