scissors (Fig. 40) at the point where it crosses the vein. A canula 

 was inserted, but not tied. The injecting mass was thin and colored 

 with chrom«? yellow (§ 344, E). A very gentle pressure was exerted 

 in forcing down the piston of the syringe. The canula was lightly 

 compressed with the fingers where it was inserted in the vessel. 

 The receptaculum and duct were slightly compressed, the fingers 

 being moved at the same time cephalad, to facilitate the movement 

 of the injecting mass. When the duct seemed well filled, the can- 

 ula was removed. After the injection of the duct, the most caudal 

 part of the postcava was opened to allow the blood to escape, and 

 then loosely ligatured centrad of the incision. Finally, the veins 

 were injected with blue plaster (§ 342) from the axillary vein. After 

 an hour the vasa cJiylifera, receptaculum and duct were carefully 

 isolated as described above (§ 989). The specimen was preserved 

 as directed (§ 286).
