A two-page article on examining flax fiber under a microscope with polarized light. It explains how cross lines, striations and displacements appear in the fiber wall, and how chemical or mechanical processing increases them. It introduces the term 'parcels' for the small sections into which a fiber divides, and notes that the same formation was seen in hemp and Apocynum sibiricum fibers. Five micrographs illustrate the text.
