When first effused, the fibrine appears to the naked eye a soft andgelatinous mass of a yellowish-white or pinkish color. At first it is verysoft, or almost diffluent; but it gradually increases in consistence, andacquires a reticular texture, containing serum in its meshes; and, when.squeezed between the fingers, it is compared by Dr. Carswell to a mass of cobwebs moistened with water. Under the micro-scope it appears composed of a number of very thintransparent fibrils, running in a straight and paralleldirection, and having numerous very small moleculesinterspersed amongst them. These molecules, throughtheir own vital forces, collect themselves into groupsof nuclei, which become converted into cells, fromwhich the future tissue is developed.* The fibrinesoon becomes permeated with blood-vessels, whichconvey the materials for the future nutrition andgrowth of the tissue into which it is converted: andthese are most probably formed as
