These bodies contain epithelia fromthe vesicles and occasionally a leukocyte (Fig. 71). The sago bodies arederived from the recesses of the seminal vesicles which offer molds fortheir formation. SAGO BODIES IN MASSAGE-URINE 317 Sugar granules are much smaller, of the size of a pinhead or a littlelarger, and are glassy, translucent, having the appearance of meltingsugar. They settle at the bottom of the vessel and dissolve rapidly.Their structure is practically the same as that of the sago bodies, save thatthey contain fewer spermatozoa. They may consist merely of a translu-cent colloid matrix, highly refractive. The writer found them to be

The vesicular skins are fine, translucent or slightly opaque, whitishpellicles, often presenting an appearance of hollow shells, like the thinshells of lemon seeds, grouped in masses.
