in  surface  view  {Fig.  j6).  Most  of  the  cells  are  of  fantastic  form 
with  wavy  outline,  and  often  reach  a  length  of  0-2  millimeter.  The 
walls  are  beautifully  reticulated,  the  nearly  circular  pores  being 
0-004  millimeter  in  diameter.  This  coat  is  highly  characteristic. 
The  raphe  is  not  conspicuous. 
The  Endosperm  {Fig.  jjf,  E)  and  Embryo  are  much  the  same  in 
structure  and  form  as  in  the  cranberry.

Microscopic  Examination  of  Huckleberry  Preserves. — The  charac- 
teristic elements  of  the  huckleberry  which  may  be  found  in  preserves 
are  the  large  stone  cells  of  the  mesocarp  and  endocarp,  and  the 
reticulated  cells  of  the  testa.  Stone  cells  of  the  mesocarp  are  dis- 
tributed throughout  the  preserve,  but  those  of  the  endocarp  should 
be  examined  in  transverse  section.  The  testa  is  best  seen  in  surface 
preparations.
