tive t}TDe of numerous separate glands, each with its own distinct 



orifice, while further mesad, and especially 

 along the medial (lingual) border the more 

 cephaHc elements of each sagittal set tend 

 to unite into a conducting canal, while the 

 more caudally situated anlages develop 

 into the secreting gland proper draining 

 into the duct. 



At the extreme median limit of the 

 alveolingual area, and extending partially 

 along the side of the tongue, a much less 

 complete development of separate small 

 gland formation may occur. These scat- 

 tered separate glands then lie on the mesal 

 side of the main salivary duct or ducts.
