loid or amyloid corpus-cles of the prostate gland (see Fig. 56). They are irregular, partly oval,partly angular bodies, which have a high refraction and a more or lesspronounced concentric striation, frequently with an irregular central nu-cleus. Their number seems to be augmented in some cases of hyper-trophy of the gland. Epithelia from Seminal Vesicles.—Epithelia from the seminal vesicles(see Fig. 55) are frequently associated with those from the prostate gland.Their presence in urine with pus-corpuscles indicates an inflammation orsuppuration in the vesicles. These epithelia are always columnar andnon-ciliated. They are more or less irregular, either of the same size orslightly larger than the columnar epithelia from the prostate, and in theorgan contain yellow pigment. The pigment is sometimes, but not al-ways, seen in the epithelia in urine. Epithelia from Ejaculatory Ducts.—Epithelia from the ejaculatoryducts may also be found in the urine. They are of the columnar ciliated

The cilia are not always seen, sincethey break off easily and become lost; but delicate parallel rods in theinterior of the epithelia, near their basal surface, may then indicate thatthe epithelia were originally ciliated. When no cilia or rods are found,their size alone will usually be sufficient for a diagnosis, as they aresmaller and considerably narrower than those from the bladder. 116 URINARY ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS. Sperma.—Not infrequently sperma, the characteristic ingredients ofwhich are the spermatozoa, is found in urine, normally as well as patho-logically. This will be the case after sexual intercourse, as well as afteremissions, and in spermatorrhoea, which latter can best be diagnosedfrom the almost constant presence of sperma in urine, especially the firsturine voided in the morning. When sperma is found in small amountonly, the appearance of the urine is not changed; but when present
