    Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Figs. PLATE VIL FATTY-LIVER OF THE MOST ADVANCED GRADE. Cut surface of a Fatty-Liver of the most advanced grade, magnified ten diameters. The paren- chyma is coloured pale-yellow. The branches of the hepatic veins, which have been divided in various directions, form a reddish-brown network, whilst the twigs of the portal vein are only visible as delicate linear ramifications. At some places, and especially at the origin of the hepatic veins, a deep yellow tint is observable, which is produced by an accumulation of bile- pigment. An injected portion of the same liver. The capillaries are almost perfectly injected; the i-ed substance thrown into the hepatic vein has penetrated the entire lobule, as far as the yellow ramifications of the portal vein. A portion of the same liver, from which the fat and the glandular cells have been separated by boiling in ether. The figure represents the reticulum composed entirely of connective tissue containing the bloodvessels, which are here only slightly injected. Cut surface of an Atrophied Pigment-Liver, magnified ten diameters. The parenchyma is dark- grey; the ramifications of the hepatic veins are of a dark reddish-brown colour, whilst the parts surrounding the fine branches of the portal vein are paler, and present a gi’ey, punctated ap- pearance. . A small mass of decomposed bile, from a sacculated enlargement of the bile-duct of a fatty- liver. Numerous crystals of hsematoidine are observed in the amorphous yellowish-brown basis. () and 7. Bile-pigment from jaundiced blood. 6. In the form of brown angular granules. 7. In the form of short rods, which are arranged in rows, or aggregated into radiated crystalline masses.
