Drosera— Bone

In the little undigested bit in the middle the spider-like spaces can be seen. The halo halo of digested part round it is almost transparent and only shows very fine striation fibrillation in various directions. The little bit in the middle is much more opaque; where it fades into the transparent part it appears frayed out from opaque fibres projecting beyond the edge & dying away into the transparent fibrilln.

This refers to bone decalcified by Hydrochloric Acid — when the transparent masses off 2 leaves (with no saliva) was scraped off & placed under compound. Here & there little bit of the fibrous basis remained undigested or rather undissolved, & out line not rounded ↘

Frank says fibrous basis of nature of gelatine & action certainly closely similar.—
