TABLE 6 



Measurements showing the effects of distention of the large intestine of the cat upon 



the shape of glands 



did not result in a complete disappearance of either glands or 

 villi. The effects were largely similar to those on the villi and 

 glands of the cat. ' ' 



TABLE 7 



Measurements showing the effects of distention upon the small intestine of the dog 



upon the shape of villi and glands 



Mouse. Experimental distention of the mouse's small intes- 

 tine at a pressure of 100 cm. of water caused a greater shorten- 

 ing of glands than of villi. The appearance obtained is some- 

 what similar to that produced by distending the intestine of 

 the guinea-pig, except that the villi of the mouse are relatively 

 taller and are not folded on themselves. Table 8 shows the 

 amount of shortening produced.
