PLATE VI, 



FIG. 1, Exhibits the Lymphatic Vessels of the lower Extremity, 

 injected with Mercury, passing through a Cluster of 

 Lymphatic Glands taken from the Groin. The Arteries 

 and Veins were not injected in this Preparation.

 vessels. 



b, by b, b y by by by by by the lymphatic glands seen of different 

 sizes and shapes, with the lymphatic vessels passing through 

 them. 



A,B,C,D,E, Lymphatic glands that have a cellular appearance. 



F, G, Lymphatic glands evidently formed of convoluted lym- 

 phatic vessels ; these likewise show the manner in which the 

 vessels enter and pass through the glands. 



H, H, Lymphatic vessels running to the edges of the two 

 lymphatic glands not injected. 



1, i, Lymphatic glands uninjected. . 



FIG. 2, Exhibits a Lymphatic Vessel that forms three small 

 Lymphatic Glands. 



A, A lymphatic vessel. 



B, A gland made by a subdivision of the trunk A into nine 

 or ten branches, which are convoluted; these reuniting, form 

 the lymphatic vessel c. 



c, A lymphatic vessel ascending to form the gland D. 



D, A lymphatic gland. 



E, A lymphatic vessel formed by the union of the lymphatic 

 vessels that composed the gland D, which divides into the two 

 branches F and G. 



F, The lymphatic vessels subdivided into small branches to 

 form the third lymphatic gland H. 



H, The third lymphatic gland.
