The science of haematology has developed from a crude beginning into a very extensive subject within comparatively a few years. When we studied physiology, we were taught that the blood was a serous alkaline fluid, containing red and white corpuscles; a great deal of attention was paid to the manner in which clotting occurred, and to the chemical changes taking place during the process; the red corpuscles were said to contain coloring matter which was diminished in certain diseases; they also presented variations in number and shape in some conditions; in leucocythaemia the white corpuscles were greatly increased in number.

What a change is found when we consider the science of the blood at the present day! And the advance has been highly due to the introduction of staining methods, in the same way that the histology of the "fixed tissues" has been made to yield such a rich store of information.

We find in the red cells changes in size and shape, in color reactions, the presence of nucleation, endoglobular degenerative changes, and, while in some diseases they are decreased in num ber, in other conditions their number per cubic millimeter is considerably increased. Instead of one variety of red cells they are now classified as erythrocytes or normal red blood cells (the same term is applied to red cells in general in most writings), megalocytes, normoblasts, megaloblasts, microblasts, poikilocytes, shadow corpuscles, etc.

The white cells or leucocytes show increase or decrease in number, variation in staining reaction of their different parts,
