Goblet cells of the colon both unstimulated and stimulated by mustard oil have been examined with the electron microscope. The observations are consonant with the belief that mucin is elaborated in the region of the Golgi complex. The cellular structures of epithelial cells both in the normal and inflamed colon are described and the strong osmiophilia of the goblet cell is recorded.
