gland. In fresh sections the cells and nuclei were found to be but little 
shrunken. Both areas could be distinguished but not so readily as in 
the normal unstimulated gland. The tubules surrounding the ductules 
contained many granules, none of which were of great size. In a hard- 
ened and stained section of this stage, the cells of the dark areas were 
found to again contain many granules, the nuclei being for the most 
part obscured. The clear cells were now less shrunken, and the cyto-

plasm stained more vigorously. The nuclei gave the appearance of 
again being displaced towards the base of the cell by the abundant 
formation of secretion, and were more or less irregular in contour. It 
was, moreover, to be noticed in stained, just as in fresh preparations, 
of this gland, returning to a normal resting condition, that the granule 
cell-complex was again intermediate in position and situated, in every 
case, in close relation to an intercalated duct. 
The final stage taken for the study of secretion phases, was from a
