The central part of the hair, or pith, is less dense than its rind, or cortical substance, wnich is formed of very long, horny cells which have coalesced. Outermost of all is the cuticle or epithelial layer, formed of very thin overlapping scales. The colouring matter is deposited within the outermost layer, and may be uniform throughout, or may be different in different parts of the same hair. Some hairs are especially slender, and have the edges of the scales of their cuticle so projecting, as to form a serrated envelope. Such hairs are " wool," and easily become entangled and adherent to- gether by their serrations, or " felted." True hair, such as the cat's, has not the property of "felting," because its surface is smooth. Although hairs (like claws, and the epidermis generally) have no blood-vessels, yet the sudden changes which may sometimes take place in their colour, prove that nutritive modifications extend into them. Very small vessels pass into the papillae of the hairs, which are also furnished with a minute nerve, to the presence of which the pain felt when the hair is pulled out is due.
