as material is discharged from the cells 

 into the lumina of the acini by a method 

 elaborated by Covell, W. P., Anat. Rec, 

 1928, 40, 213-223. The technique con- 

 sists of carefully mounting the pan- 

 creas of a living mouse in such a way 

 that the circulation continues and the 

 influence of pilocarpine can be observed. 

 Zymohexase. This enzyme system is made 

 up of aldolase and isomerase. The 

 former converts hexosediphosphate into 



dihydrocyacetone phosphate and phos- 

 phoglyceraldehyde. The latter cataly- 

 ses equilibrium between these two 

 products. Allen, R. J. L. and Bourne, 

 G. H., J. Exper. Biol., 1943, 20, 61-64 

 adapted methods for phosphatase to 

 the demonstration of zymohexase ac- 

 tivity. See technique and comments 

 by Glick, p. 86-88.
