    This wall [sac], composed primarily, as we have seen, of embryoplastic elements, gradually assumes the aspect of a distinct laminated membrane, which may be sep- arated from the adjacent tissues, except at the base of the bulb, to which it remains fixed. Kolliker, with most other authors, de- scribes this wall as composed of two con- centric laminge; and yet admits, with Hux- ley, that the transparent stratum which clothes the bulb (membrana prceformativci) reflects itself back on its internal face, and thus lines the whole inner surface of the follicular wall. We will reserve, for a forthcoming work, the study of these different peculiarities of structure. layer of the Malpighian stratum; d, oral epithelium; F, ameloblastic layer; lower F, external layer of the enamel- organ,—a continuation of the internal layer of ameloblasts; g, stellate recticulum of the enamel-organ; H, dental bulb; I, follicular wall (indistinct); K, buddings of the cord. The vascular appearance of the bulb does not appear in the original.
