SITUS VISCEEUM INVEESUS. By Egbert J. Teery. 



This complete transposition of viscera was found at the autopsy of 

 a man 30 years of age, American, who died of appendicitis. His family 

 knew of his peculiarity. He was not a twin, and was right-handed. 

 Eotation of the gut took place from right to left, as evidenced by the 

 right vagus nerve going to the front of the stomach. 



The right lung is two-lobed; the left one has three lobes and is short 

 and heavy. 



The spleen is not lobulated and accessory spleens have not been ob- 

 served. It may be worthy of note that the right testicle was lower than 

 the left.

MOEPHOLOGY OF PYLOEIC GLANDS AS SHOWN BY^ EECONSTEUC- 

 TION. DEMONSTEATION OF MODELS. By Lydia M. DeWitt. 



Until quite recently our knowledge of the morphology of microscopic 

 objects depended on the study of sections and of teased preparations. 

 The reconstruction methods of His and Born have added materially to 

 our knowledge. 



My work includes the reconstruction, by the Born plate method, of 

 the pyloric glands of man, dog, cat at various stages of development, 

 rabbit, turtle and frog. These glands in the dog are in the main tubu- 

 lar in type, richly branched and convoluted, with occasional enlarge- 

 ments resembling alveoli. In the cat the glands are tubular, convo- 

 luted and generally but little branched, but occasionally showing re- 

 peated division of the tubules. In the rabbit the glands represent long, 

 slender tubules, slightly twisted and but little branched, but several 

 often opening into a single crypt. In the turtle the pyloric glands are 

 short and thick and have a distinct branched tubular type. In the frog 

 these glands are simple tubular, several at times opening into a single 

 crypt, but otherwise showing little tendency to branching. 



The work will also include the reconstruction of Brunner's glands of 

 the duodenum with the view of comparing and determining the rela- 

 tionship of these two types of glands.
