    Plate XXII. Fro. 13.—From a three months’ placenta. Shows a section through an attached villus, and the adjacent serotina. Along the line of attachment the epithelial covering is indistinct; its nuclei have proliferated markedly, and invaded the adjacent decidual tissue. At the right of the figure the superficial layer of the epithelium is seen to be prolonged for a short distance upon the serotinal surface. Fig. 14.—From the same placenta. Shows the serotinal surface with an interrupted layer of chorionic epithelium upon it. Fig. 15.—From the same placenta. Shows a maternal vessel in section, on the point of opening, at the apex of a decidual elevation, into the intervillous spaces. Fig. 16.—No. 4 of the series of sections, of which Fig. 15 is No. 1. Shows a point where the maternal vessel has opened in two places into the intervillous spaces.
