    such a terminology the destructive and suppurative processes of inflam- mation would be sundered from the constructive and reproductive. ITiis would obviously be of advantage, if, as would appear likely, pathology is to teach that pus is an adjunct of the inflammatory process only when the irritation produced within the tissue is aggravated by the associated presence of a sufficient dose of bacterial virus. REFERENCES TO PLATES. Plate XXXI. Fig. 1. Contents of experimental chamber that had remained 72 hours in the peritoneal cavity of the rabbit. Five large amoeboid plasma-cells, with altered red corpuscles and apparently dead leucocytes. Outlined with camera lucida. Apochromatic oil immersion and ocular No. 4. Zeiss. Prepared over osmic vapour. Fig. 2. Contents of a chamber for 18 hours in the peritoneal cavity (rabbit); near the centre of the chamber. Fibrin filaments, leucocytes, red corj^tuscles, and an ill-defined granular mass forming a nodal point in the fibrinous network—the bej]finnin£]|; of a ''cell-islet. Outlined under camera. Similar method of pre])aration, and similar magnification to preceding. Fig. 3. Fragment of inflammatory membrane formed within a chamber placed for three days in the subcutaneous tissue (guinea-pig). Islets and groups of islets scattered through the membrane. Zeiss, Obj. A, Oc. 2. Osmic acid solution, and Ehrlich's logwood. Fig. 4. Contents of same chamber as in Fig 1. Close to the opening of the chamber. Five plasma-cells, one of them continuing a leucocyte within a large vacuole. Magnification and method of preparation as in Fig. 1. Fig. 5. Contents of same chamber. Two plasma-cells and two red corpuscles; the plasma-cells are indistinguishably united with fine filaments of fibrin in their surrounding, some of which are given in the figure. Osmic acid vapour. Zeiss, apochr. system, oc. No. 2. Plate XXXII. Fig. 6. Giant cells from chamber 72 hours in the peritoneal cavity (rabbit). Zeiss apochr. system, ocul. 5. Osmic acid vapour. Fig. 7. Plasma-cells from same preparation which furnished Fig, 6. Fig. 8. Cell islet from inflammatory film obtained in a chamber left eight days in the subcutaneous tissue of the guinea-pig, At the margin it is united to outlying plasma-cells. Zeiss oil, oc. 4. Osmic acid vapour.
