Klein

Text to Plate xviii (in the Vol of plates) connec

"The ground substance consists as in tendons bundles of connective tissue. Instead of flat tendon cells are others which in form &c general arrangement resemble resemble them but which in consequence of their form & structural character must be regarded as cartilage cells"—

He calls it "connective tissue cartilage" but it comes from the tail intervertebral substance which is always called fibro cartilage, & in his account of cartilage he does not mention any "connective* tissue cartilage" only fibro-cartilage so I am sure *it must be fibro-cartge, wh he does not mention he says "In fibro-cartilage the structural elements are intermixed with gelatinous ma tissue"
