blood-corpuscles.
The Medullary or True Marrow-cells are round and nucleated. They
have amoeboid movements, and in general appearance may be coni-

pared to lymph-cells or the white corpuscles of the blood, though some-
what larger and possessing a clearer protoplasm. This class is more
abundant in red than yellow marrow.
The Fat-vc>:>ielcs are similar to those found in adipose tissue. As
previously stated, the color of yellow marrow is due to these vesicles,
of which it is in greater part made up. Fat-vesicles are found in very
small numbers in the red marrow.
The Midtinuclear Giant-cells are large, soft, protoplasmic masses,
granular in appearance. They generally contain a large number
of nuclei ; these are sometimes

grouped on one side, and have
a fine fibrillated network run-
ning through them. Some-
times they contain only one
nucleus, which is large and
shows indications of segmenta-
tion. These cells have been
called by Kobin myelo})laxes,
and by Kolliker osteoclasts.

The Nucleated Red Blood-cells resemble the red corjiuscles of the
blood, but are somewhat larger; they have a smooth, homogeneous
cell-body with a distinct nucleus. These cells are supposed by some to
lose their nuclei, become biconcave, and assume the character -of the
