In view of the above description of the dis- covery of bacilli in fresh preparations and of these brown clumps, there can scarcely be any doubt of the position of the bacilli, and of the cellular nature of the brown clumps. Further, it may be noted that in the testicles the globi are chiefly in the lumen of the seminal canals, where no lymph vessels exist, and if Unna says of the globi * that no one has certainly determined their cellular character, he must have said this in ignorance of our earlier publications in Norwegian. The above description and the drawings were published by us in 1869 and 1870, \x\\h^ Nordisld Medicinsk Arkiv. In connection with the vacuole, we have found in a testicle a globus with vacuoles, and in the vacuoles small granules which were recognised as remains of the nuclei {Plate X, Fig. 2). We add to this the picture of a globus, or rather a developing globus, with two nuclei, from a skin nodule {Plate VIII, Fig. 4). We have seen earlier, however, that the brown, clump may lie in the cell without enclosing the nucleus, and also that the nucleus may lie in the middle of the brown mass. Now, if the vacuoles are transformed nuclei, as we believe, then it would be comprehensible that the *Unna, zur Histologie der Leprösenhaut; in Leprastudien, Monatshefte für practische Dermatologie, Ergänzhungsheft, 1885.
