In the " Histological Catalogue of the Royal College of Surgeons," Vol. i, p. 3, we are informed that it is by a "deposit of new matter on the external surface of the membrane." And that in the collection at the College (Ppn., A. 13) is " a preparation of the portion of a hair from the fornix of the corolla of Anchusa italica, exhibiting a deposit of tubercles of new matter on its external surface. Each tubercle contains two or more cavities, and a defined margin exists between...

The planes of these plates of prismatic cellular structure are always as nearly as possible either parallel or at right angles to the lines of growth, and the mode of arrangement is invariable in each separate stratum, and always opposed to that of the stratum either above or below it ; so that...
Page 285 - Gasteropoda are characterised by their being provided with a fleshy disc, serving as a foot, upon which to creep. The back is covered with a cloak, in or upon which the shell is secreted, and may consist of one or more pieces. All the shells are remarkable for the small amount of the animal as compared with that of the earthy matter, so that they are extremely brittle, and their fractured surfaces have...
Page 287 - ... Upon submitting to examination a surface of this shell fractured at right angles to the lines of growth, it was found to consist of three distinct strata, uniform in the nature of their structure, but alternating in the mode of their disposition. Each stratum is formed of innumerable plates, composed of elongated, prismatic, cellular structure ; each plate consisting of a single series of cells parallel to each other. These plates of cellular structure are disposed alternately in contrary directions,...
