\\\c node was very small, the whole architecture very fine in- 

 stead of coarse, as in bovines, and phagocytosis was marked. 



Injections into the few nodes of Capra hirciis, which were 

 large enough to permit injection, showed them to be in connec- 

 tion with the veins. In two specimens which were only 1.5 to 2 

 mm. large, the communication of the vein with a narrow but con- 

 tinuous periphreal venous sinus — not the so-called subcapsular 

 sinus, or blood space — which lies in the periphery of the lymph- 

 oid tissue just internal to the subcapsular blood space, was 

 splendidly shown in serial sections. A section of one of these 

 nodes was shown in figure 8 (Meyer '14) of a former article in 

 this series of studies. Hence although my basis for judgment is 

 not a broad one, I regard the circulatory and also the structural 

 conditions of the hemal nodes of the goat practically identical 

 with those of the hemal nodes of the sheep.
