ABSTRACTS 7OF PAPERS@ PRESENTED: 
ON THE HISTOLOGY OF THE GLANDS OF BRUNNER. By ROBERT R. 
BENSLEY. Hull Laboratory of Anatomy, University of Chicago. 
This paper presents the results of a comparative study of the glands 
of Brunner in Mammals. It was shown that the failure of Schaffer, 
von Ebner, and others to obtain positive results with Mayer’s mucin 
stains in the glands of Brunner, was due to too close an adherence to 
Mayer’s formulae, which, as that author expressly states, stain different 
mucins with different degrees of facility. The writer has found that by 
increasing the strength of Mayer’s muchaematein fivefold, a positive
