In the early months of pregnancy Langhanslayer is clearly defined, but in the later months it may wholly loseits identity. Overlying Langhans layer is the syncytium, an irregular bandof protoplasm containing many nuclei and vacuoles. The nucleiare round or oval, and take a deep stain. The protoplasm is finelygranular and contains vacuoles of considerable dimensions. Giantcells and buds spring from the syncytium, particularly at the top of PLATE XX. ?^;:-;,^.-. ■■-^-^■•>j>. ^-^- -■ .o^W^ .-■■^.■^^;>-^-> - ;-:^-/.«-:V.;„:V;^i-^.v?;.;vi: t^;.: ^^■^•:v^*

The syncytiumand Langhans layer may wholly disappear and the connectivetissue undergo partial degeneration when retained in the uterus fora considerable time. The term placental shadows is applied tosuch a condition. (See Plate XX.) The presence of chorionic villi in discharged membranes is proofpositive of a uterine pregnancy. The decidua may be regarded as the endometrium of pregnancy.It is, therefore, a maternal structure. The endometrium becomesthickened even to tenfold. This thickening is due to an increasein size of the various elements of the endometrium. From thebeginning of pregnancy the connective-tissue cells of the mucosaincrease in size four and even six times their original p
