The condition three weeks after parturition: a group of seven acini forming the corner or angle of a lobule; many small round cells in the spaces round the acini and in the fibrillar tissue; mucus, mixed with small round cells, in the cavities of the acini. Magnified 150 diameters. The section represented in Fig. 9 passes through the extreme pointed end of a lobule, and includes only seven acini; the inter- lobular fibrillar tissue is for the same reason cut obliquely, and appears thicker than it really is. The fibrillar tissue will be seen to be crowded at certain points with lymphoid cells, often ranged as if in a procession.
