    (2) Salivary corpuscles in large number. They resemble leucocytes, but are larger and more granular. (3) Micrococci and bacilli in very large number, e.g., Spirocheete buccalis. Leptothrix (from decaying teeth). Bacilli resembling the comma bacillus. Fig. 13.—Buccal Secretion. (a)J Yarioiis fungi ; (&) Leucocytes ; (c) Leptothrix buccalis : [d) Ml, Salivary corpuscles ; [e] Squamous epithelium; (/) Comma m I r bacilli of mouth ; [g) Spirochajte buccalis. Chemical Composition. (1) Mucin—Add acetic acid = coagulation. (2) A globulin proteid. Heat = coagulated. (3) Ptyalin— Add starch solution = maltose formed = Fehl- ing's solution reduced. (4) Potassium sulphocyanide. Add drop of ferric chloride = red colour. Add mercuric chloride = colourless.
