Abstract
THE idea of the constancy of cell size for a particular tissue in different individuals of an animal species has long held sway in zoological literature. This concept has frequently been extended to cover nearly related species1. I wish to thank Dr. J. R. Baker, of Oxford, for suggesting this investigation into a case which proved to be at variance with the generally accepted view.
