DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XIV. 

 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 methyleue-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.
