1. A method is described for distinguishing the ribonucleoproteins of the nucleolus and parachromatin of ascitic tumor cells of the mouse. 2. In these cells the transfer of ribonucleoprotein from the nucleus to the cytoplasm can occur in two ways. (a) At the end of prophase the nucleolus separates from the chromosomes and nucleolar fragments are released into the cytoplasm. (b) During prophase the parachromatin is aggregated to form parachromatin bodies which are discharged into the cytoplasm, where they can be detected during metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. 3. A metachromatic form of RNA is demonstrable, and may be synthesized, in close relation to the chromosomes during prophase, metaphase, and anaphase. During telophase the distribution of metachromatic RNA changes, the chromatin loses its metachromasia, and intranuclear metachromatic parachromatin becomes evident.

1. The cytological and cytochemical properties of the Ehrlich tetraploid and hyperdiploid, TA3 tetraploid and diploid, Krebs 2B, sarcoma 37, MC1M, 6C3HED and DBA lymphoma, and lymphoma #1 ascites tumors at a fixed interval after transplantation are described. 2. No qualitative differences were observed in the cytochemical properties of the nucleus, nucleolus, parachromatin, parachromatin bodies, large lipide globules, lipochondria, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the tumor cells of the 10 neoplasms. 3. Quantitative differences were noted in the cells of the 10 neoplasms. These were reflected by variation in nuclear and cytoplasmic diameter, nucleolar mode, mitotic index, incidence of gross abnormalities of mitosis, karyorrhexis, multinucleated cells, accessory micronuclei, cell clumping, and in the number and size of the large lipide globules and lipochondria of the cells.
Sections of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells infected with anopheles A virus revealed particles in the cytoplasm, which were identified as the virus on the basis of their consistent size and internal structure; their high opacity in the electron beam after fixation with osmic acid; the localized occurrence, within a certain time interval following infection, of high concentrations of such particles within the cell; the absence of similar particles in uninoculated tumor cells and cells infected with other viruses, and the appearance of such particles in infected chorioallantoic membrane. The particles are spheroid, with a transparent 25 to 30 mmicro core, surrounded by an opaque complex shell 12 to 17 mmicro in thickness. Apparently "hollow," globular components of this shell have outer and inner diameters of approximately 12 mmicro and 5 to 7 mmicro respectively. The validity of an additional outer envelope is discussed. Particles are frequently embedded in a matrix, and their alignment and grouping are discussed. Markedly dense populations are found near nuclear concavities. Some infective changes in the cell are described, for example the formation of newly observed virus-induced necrotic regions.
