PACCINIAN CORPUSCLES IN THE CAT, 503 
support of this supposition I may add that, in examining 
some mesenteric lymphatic glands with the naked eye, I 
observed that in the peritoneum surrounding at least two, 
there was a large number of very small Pacinian corpuscles, 
and that some might be traced almost to the gland capsule 
itself. I cannot say definitely whether the mesentery proper 
was well supplied with Pacinian corpuscles in the animals 
from which the mesenteric gland and pancreas first men- 
tioned were respectively obtained, but in the last instance 
this was the case.
