malis) he says (p. 183): Ufus hujus 

 glandula? propemodum coincidit ciim 

 priore . . . , et ha?c quoque humiditates 

 quafdam, quanquam non totam lachry= 

 marum materiam, ocu/o/Iippec/ifaf. While 

 Steno maintains that glandula innomh 

 nata secretes the tears, he does not ob* 

 ject to glandula lacrymalis being a gland, 

 and perhaps he tacitly takes it for granted 

 that its function is, also, that of secreting 

 lachrymal fluid. Observe that the exa* 

 minations of Wharton and Steno were 

 made on animals, not on man. Besides, 

 Steno was the first to prove that the 

 upper and lower lachrymal ducts are 

 the channels, along which the tears are 

 conveyed to the cavity of the nose.
