10 Th. Lewis, 



In the MonJcey, (Macacus rhesus). I have found numerous glands 

 in the axilla and groin. Several large bodies also were seen in the 

 neighbourhood of the termination of the common carotids. In the 

 abdomen they occurred in the mesentery and transverse mesocolon, 

 in bands ^, i^^^li ^^'^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ leaving a similar arrangement to those 

 in man. A small gland was found under the left kidney. A few were 

 scattered in the subvertebral region, embedded in fat, others in the 

 pelvis in relation to the bladder.^) 



2. Ungulata. 

 In the sheep, (Ovis aries). The estimate of Robertson, that the 

 number of glands, occurring in a single sheep, amounts to as much 

 as three or four hundred, is probably not far wide of the mark. 

 The glands, which are chiefly of the typical hsemal variety are 

 spherical in shape, and not much larger than peas, though most 

 of them are considerably smaller. They appear as small sacs of 

 blood, which may have an arterial or venous colour, according to 

 the time which they have been exposed: they are easily ruptured, 

 the contents pouring out as a bloody fluid, which on examination 

 shows the presence of the usual elements found in the sinus. These 

 haemal glands occur along the whole length of the subvertebral 

 region, extending into the pelvis, and following as a general rule the 

 course of the abdominal vessels and their branches. In the region 

 directly over the bifurcation of the aorta, a remarkable group of these 

 bodies^), sometimes as many as sixty to eighty in number, occurs; the 

 glands are crowded together into a small area, and mixed with them 

 are lymphatic glands and intermediate forms, with frequently brown 

 coloured glands of various depths of tint. Occasionally a collapsed 

 body, having otherwise the same general appearances, is met with. 

 Other typical glands are found in different situations, particularly in 

 the fat around the kidney and its vessels, also in the mesentery and 



^) In Cynoccphalus Babouin, a Baboon recently examined, numerous typical 

 hajmal glands were found in the axilla and groin, and in the abdomen and thorax, 

 following the course of the large bloodvessels, more particularly the aorta and 

 common iliacs. 



^) In a ram recently examined, this group was found to be absent.
