1851. Carpenter, Man. Phys. (ed. 3), 334. When the fibrillated net-work forming the buffy coat undergoes that slow contraction, which is characteristic of highly-elaborated fibrin subsequently to its coagulation, it draws-in the edges of the upper surface of the clot, giving it a cupped appearance.
1877. Huxley, Anat. Inv. Anim., ii. 104. Beneath the thin superficial transpareent cuticle from which the cilia proceed, there is a very distinct cortical layer, fibrillated in a direction perpendicular to the surface.
