THE STRUCTURE OF THE LYMPHATIC GLANDS. 49 



The structure I have described affords, in my opinion, satis- 

 factory evidence 



1. That the lymphatic glands are merely networks of lym- 

 phatic vessels, deprived of all their tunics but the internal, the 

 epithelium of which is highly developed for the performance of 

 particular functions. 



2. That these peculiar lymphatics are supplied with a fine 

 capillary network, to supply matter for the continual renovation 

 of the epithelium.
