Difflugia one of several genera of amoebozoa that produce shells or tests from granules of sand. These are swallowed by the cell and during the process of budding or fission they pass into the daughter, where they are joined by organic cement. The test has a single terminal opening. Difflugia are particularly common in marshes. The Difflugia use pseudopods to move around. It is a heterotroph and it engulfs its food.

Labels: p, p, vacuolated cells; g, granular cells; c, c, branching lamellar cells; c', a flattened cells, of which only the nucleus and some scattered granules are visible; f, fibrillated cell."If we make a cut through the skin of some part of the body where there is no subcutaneous fat, as in the upper eyelid, and proceed to raise it from the parts lying beneath, we observe that it is loosely connected to them by a soft filmy substance of considerable tenacity and elasticity. This is areolar tissue. It is also found, in like manner, under the serous and mucous membranes, and serves to attach them to the parts which they line or cover. Proceeding further, we find this areolar tissue lying between the muscles, the blood-vessels, and other deep-seated parts; also forming investing sheaths for the muscles, the nerves, the blood-vessels, and other parts. It both connects and insulates entire organs, and, in addition, performs the same office for the finer parts of which these organs are made up. It is thus one of the most general and most extensively distributed of the tissues." —Kimber, 1907

"Different Kinds of Milk Bacteria. It is not uncommon for a large number of person to be poisoned from eating ice cream at some public gathering. This is caused by a change in the milk brought about by the presence of bacteria. The poisonous product of their action called "tyrotoxicon", may also be found in other foods which have milk as their basis, such as cheese, custard, and so on. There are vomiting and purging within a few hours after eating the food, succeeded by a great nervous prostration, from which recovery follows slowly." — Blaisedell, 1904

The form of the capillary network presents considerable variety in the different textures of the body: the varieties consists principally of modifications of two chief kind of mesh, the rounded and the elongated. The kind in which the meshes or interspaces have a roundish form is the most common, and prevails in those parts which the capillary network is most dense, such as the lungs. Shown is the network of capillary vessels of the air cells of the horse's lung magnified. Labels: a, capillaries proceeding from b, terminal branched of the pulmonary artery.
