Abstract
1. In the contents of the larger branches of the hepatic duct, there are seen on microscopical examination,—1st, detached columnar epithelium; 2nd, free nuclei, some round, some oval, about 1/3000th of an inch in diameter; 3rd, minute granules, free or in amorphous flakes, globules of oil, and fragments of cell-walls. 2. In the contents of smaller branches of the hepatic duct, I have repeatedly observed, in addition to the objects just enumerated, cells of a polygonal shape and about 1/1100th of an inch in diameter, containing round nuclei about 1/3000th of an inch in diameter, together with minute granules and globules of oil; cells, in short, identical with those of the parenchyma of the same liver, except that for the most part they were paler, on account of the contained granules and oil-globules being fewer and more minute. In some instances the cells were partially broken up.Keywords
