One of the fundamental compon ents of protoplasm was protein, and each type of cell in each species of organism contained one or more proteins peculiar to it.

There must exist, he said, some very curious inner structure where the protein molecules were marshal led and arranged as long mobile chains or columns. The molecular army within the cell was ready for quick and organised action, and during life was in a state of extra. ordinary activity.

Oxidation, assimilation, and the rejection of waste "products were continually going on, and the living cell-

was constantly exchanging energy and materials with its en- vironment. The apparently station. ary equilibrium was in reality kinetic or dynamic equilibrium.
