Even in the rude circumferential rim or wall of wax round a growing comb, flexures may sometimes be observed, corresponding in position to the planes of the rhombic basal plates of future cells.

即使在生长中的梳子周围粗糙的圆周边缘或蜡壁中，有时也可以观察到弯曲， 其位置与未来细胞的菱形基底板的平面相对应。

In some parts, only small portions, in other parts, large portions of a rhombic plate were thus left between the opposed basins, but the work, from the unnatural state of things, had not been neatly performed.

在一些地方， 只有一小部分， 在其他地方， 菱形板的大部分就这样留在了相对的盆地之间，但是由于事情的不自然状态， 工作没有被整齐地完成。
