Those to the left are the ordinary lymph- corpuscles which constituted the greater part of the growth. To the right are some of the larger elements, x 350. lymphatic glands, containing two, or even more, nuclei. In a more advanced stage, and also in all tumours in which, tlie process of development has been slow, th.e pro- portion of cells is smaller, and the reticulum constitutes a more prominent part of the growth.
