Henle thought that originally there were no cells, but only nuclei, and that the fibres which afterward appeared were produced by direct fibrillation of the blastema, while the nuclei grad- ually became elongated, and coalesced to form longitudinal fibres {Kernfasern^ — nucleus fibres). Eeichert contended that there were both cells and intercellular substance, but said, The intercellular substance fibres were a false interpretation of an optical image. Virchow, with Schwann, and against Henle, believes that spindle-shaped cells in- disputably exist, and with Henle and Reichert, and against Schwann, that a splitting-up of the cells into fibres does not occur, but that a previously homogeneous or mucous intercellular substance becomes fibrillated in some way, while the young cells maintain their integrity throughout. It is unnecessary to say that this is a manifest inconsis- tency in Virchow's '' Cellular Pathology. Max Schultze of Germany, Beal of England, and Leidy and Tyson of America believe that the intercellular substance originates by a change in the nucleus at its periphery, and by a pushing-ofi
