STRUCTURES FOUND IN THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE. 189 



Many of the sections showed large nerve-trunks passing 

 through the parenchyma. I did not find a similar gland in 

 either of the other cases. 



The third case was that of a male aged 19, who died of 

 phthisis. 



In this I also found a small ganglion very similar to that of 

 the first case. The gland resembling a lymphatic was also 

 present, and showed a similar structure to that described in the 

 first case. 



There was only one ordinary lymphatic gland in this case, 

 but it was much larger than any of the others. 



In neither of these three cases was there any disease of the 

 kidneys. 



From the above it will be seen that I have found this 

 peculiar gland, resembling a lymphatic gland somewhat, but 

 having blood circulating in it instead of lymph in three cases, 

 and these were consecutive ; it would, therefore, seem to be a 

 permanent structure.
