the glomeruli are shielded not only by the inner and outer 
capsular walls but also, according to the neo-Ludwig view, by 
a film of filtrate. It is also inconceivable that, with correct 
only alternative then is to assume that the high osmotic 
pressure of the renal afferent vein fluid in some way causes the 
intertubular plexus capillaries to dilate, and the additional 
more cannot possibly be held to account for the facts Once 
more I may say that it appears to me to be impossible for sup- 
Porters of the neo-Ludwig view to explain these facts in accord- 
ance with that view.
