Abstract
IN the literature dealing with European and American timbers, frequent mention has been made of the presence of terminal parenchyma cells in the wood of Fraxinus excelsior1, Populus sp.2, Betula lutea3 and Acer sachharum3. There can be no doubt about the validity of these statements, for they were based on intensive study of these timbers both in the field and in the laboratory.
