tissue in which they are developed. The ring inside corres- 
ponds exactly to the supposed opening in the containing 
cell. The irregular marks seen in the lower part of the 
sketch, are probably the remains of cellular tissue. "This ac- 
cords with Lindley's idea of this structure. It is certain, that 
apparently large holes are left in the containing tissue when 
these glands have fallen out. Lindley, however, passes over 
the central areola visible in the body itself 8a, which uni- 
formly transmits light of a yellowish green colour. My 
friend Valentine, who is unrivalled in delicacy of dissecting, 
shews this areola to arise from the presence of a glandular 
looking body of the above colour. 
Pl. CCCLXXVII. Fig. 9, is an imaginary figure of this 
tissue, and will be at right angles with the preceding figure 
8a ; it represents the membrane, which I suppose to be perfo- 
rated opposite the axis of each body, viz., b, b, 4, b, b, b, b, b, 
and is somewhat vesicular or rather raised up here ; d, d, d, d, 
will represent the body transversely across the tube; e, e, e, 
etc., will represent the glandular yellowish body occupving 
the axis of d, d, d. This certainly accounts for the anomaly 
in a better manner than has hitherto been given. 
This section is supposed to be carried through a portion of 
the tube, and through the axes of four bodies. inis to the 
tube. 
Objection: two areole should be visible, looking ub 
on the tissue, the areola of the containing membrane is that 
of the subexserted apex of the glandule. 
The explanation of Dr. Mohl is obviously highly un- 
satisfactory, and has the disadvantage of giving no miena 
account whatever of this peculiar structure.
