present certain differences in structure       67

which I also tried.       103

only a few... remaining       119

that, a few       120
 
a few scattered       126
 
(only known in a few types)       143

a few       241

simple in structure,

a few words about       353
a few cells, identical       401
 
it is only a few       409
at this stage of a few       420
 
                  Within a few days
this surmise was strengthened       481

a few of these, when, to my surprise       8
 
even these contained only a few       9

being most of the 48 instances of a few in volume 14 of the Journal of Morphology (1898).

Began with a wildcard search for “a few * days” that landed me at an American Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record notice (in 1896) of a fellowship awarded to Clara Langenbeck (1868 – 1933?) for a year’s study abroad. Who she was? What was her course, after graduating from the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 1890?

Her paper in this volume, based on work done at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, is “Formation of the Germ Layers in the Amphipod Microdeutopus Gryllotalpa Costa” (June 1898) : 301-336 (University of California copy)
opens to same page 301 in beautifully scanned copy at Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology (Philadelphia).
