Plate XXXI.
Bodies found in pneumonic sputa. They refracted light very strongly, and had an oily lustre. They seem to be either cells rendered hyaline and expanded by endosmosis, or an agglomeration of cells which have undergone some fatty metamorphosis, or become infiltrated with amyloid matter — the so-called "corpora amylacea," — rarely to be found in sputum. I have only once seen those formations, and do not pretend to say precisely what they are.
