I n a preceding paper (Palade and Claude, '49) it has been demonstrated that myelin figures can be induced by means of ethanol in a variety of vertebrate somatic cells. Such figures have been found to exhibit a morphology and an intracellular distribution closely similar to those ascribed in the classical cytological literature to the Golgi apparatus of the corresponding cells. These observations suggest that the Golgi apparatus might be a collection of intracellular myelin figures artificially produced during the preparation of the cytological specimens. I n order to test this hypothesis it is necessary to find out whether myelin figures develop in celltilar material while being treated according to the procedures recommended for the demonstration of the Golgi apparatus. Generally, these procedures comprise two main, successive stages: ( a ) the fixation, fo r which a variety of aqueous fixative mixtures have been proposed, and (b) the impregnation which is performed by means of osmium tetroxide, or silver nitrate solutions. I n such techniques, however, ethanol does not intervene except after impregnation. Since at that time the apparatus is already present in the cells (Nassonov, '23),
