ing', and may or may not be filled with products of secretion 

 (photos 50 and 52 SL). The lining cells vary somewhat in different 

 parts of the sac, but all are of the fundamental type of a secreting 

 cell; those in the diverticulum leading to the collecting tubule being 

 filled with basophil granules (photos 50, 51 DSL), resembling very 

 closely those of the cells of the modified part of the labyrinth in 

 the typical nephridium (diagram E LM, and photo 47 Lili) of 

 which modified part the entire sac is probably a gigantic extension 

 and further modification. A comparison of the basophil granules in the 

 diverticulum (DSL) of the salivary gland, with those in the modified 

 part (LM) of the typical nephridium, and of the short tubule of 

 the small modified nephridia is made in photographs 54, 54 a, 54 b. 

 Not far from the collecting tubule and ventral to it (diagram F 1) 

 the sac opens into a tubule lined with striated cells (photo 53 CL)
