Dec 1 & 2d 80 -F. made section of Post. glands after being hardened in alcohol — The lamellæ are lined with pulpy matter & in them layers of myriads of the so-called oil-globules were embedded in ends of others lay between the lamellæ — when acetic a. was added the oil-globules disappeared with effervescence like a flash, & in the flakes of pulpy matter (after some hours) there were left ghosts of many cells which contained something like a nucleus & a few much larger cells containing some matter, but apparently no nucleus. — I feel almost sure that ant. gland differs from post. glands in the great number of the larger cells, which are not acted on by acetic a. The few larger cells in port glands may be that generation [illeg] to small concretion which occasionally are P. in port. glands.
