Abstract
1. Continuous sections of jute and Manila hemp cells have been made and recorded for the first time. Their arrangement and relationship in the cell bundle have been studied, and enougth data has been collected to permit the construction of large scale models of these cells both internally and externally. 2. The definite existence of surface trans-fibre fissures in flax cells has been established. 3. The behavior and direct microscopical observation indicated the presence of similar in jute and hemp. 4. A better technique for precision sectioning and a suitable method for single cell dissection have been perfected. 5. The existence of a spiral structure in the cell walls, the fibrillar nature of which is proven, has been recorded. 6. Diagrammatic representations of the order and arrangement of the cells in commercial single fibres have been made.
