“…The contention that adipose cells are derived from elements of the reticulo-endothelial system and bear a closer relationship to macrophages than to fibroblasts is supported by studies on the uptake of particulate dye by adipose cells (6,7,15), and on the apparent interchangeability of function between blood-cell formation and adiposecell formation of reticulo-endothelial cells of bone marrow (28). It is also supported by Wassermann (29) who has described adipose tissue as arising from mesenchymal elements existing in close conjunction with capillaries in primitive adipose organs.…”

A B S T R A C TDifferentiating white adipose tissue from presumptive and developing fat pads of newborn and young rats was fixed in buffered osmium tetroxide, embedded in Vestopal W, and examined in an electron microscope. Pre-adipose cells were found to be fibroblasts characterized by their spindle shape, long tenuous cytoplasmic extensions, and profuse endoplasmic reticulum. The developmental stages traced from fibroblast to mature adipose cell show a gradual change in cell shape, an accumulation of cytoplasm and non-membrane-bounded lipid, a decrease in the endoplasmic reticulum, and a change in shape of mitochondria. Transitory glycogen appears at mid-differentiation. Numerous smooth-membraned vesicles occur in the cytoplasm throughout differentiation. Pinocytosis is constantly evident. Cells of the mnltilocular stage are shown to differ from brown fat ceils, particularly with respect to cytoplasmic membrane systems and mitochondria. No transport of particulate lipid from the lumen of the capillary to, or within, the adipose cell was detected, nor could any cell organelle be demonstrated to be visibly related to lipid synthesis and/or deposition.

IXTRODUCTIONThe rcspiraiory system of uyuatic mammals and espccially that of whales has attracted in the past thc attention of numerous cornparativc anatomists as well as physiologists. From the point of view of the histolo,T of the respiratory portion of the lungs of aquatic mammals, a few descriptions 'nave gradually accumulated since the beginning of this century.To the latter belong the papers of Pick ('07) on Hulicore dugong ; Harbosa ( '14)' E'iebiger ( '16)' Lacoste and Baudrirnont ( '26) on the Nediterranean dolphin; Lacoste and Baudrimont ('33) on the harbor porpoise; Wislocki on the httlc-noscd porpoise ( '29) and thc Florida manatee ('35) ; Lauric ('33) arid Haynes and Laurie ( '37) on the large South Atlantic whales; Bonin and RQlanger ( '39) on thc Korth Atlantic whit c whale.All of these publications, however, have been limited mainly to a description of individual species, with the exception of Wislocki's paper on thc rnanatee ('35) which attempted to assemble certain comparative data. Finally, a recent study by Wislocki and BQlanger ( '40) has established certain salient differences between the lungs of thc larger Cctaoea and those of smaller specks.'Presented in partial fulfillmer~t of the degree of Master of Arts from the Graduate 8ehool of Arts mid Seicnees of IIarvssd University.
