mately 60 grm. per day). Such a loss in dogs after almost com- 

 plete pancreatectomy may be considered as a slight one. Sections 

 of his pancreatic fragment showed very few Langerhans islands 

 and sections from his thyroid (Fig. 3) showed unusually large 

 alveoli rich in colloid. Compare this thyroid with one of a normal 

 dog (Fig. 4) who weighed 13 kilos. We emphasize this point 

 because Cohen 2 and Pariser reported changes in the thyroid in 

 various organic diseases of the pancreas in man whose urine was 

 negative for sugar.

Table III. — From this table it becomes evident that partial 

 ligation did not only diminish the diabetic glycemia, but made it 

 more intense. 



Table IV. — According to Allen 3 the weight of the pancreas in 

 dogs is approximately 2 grm. per kilogram of body weight. This 

 table shows our figures come very close to his in completely de- 

 pa ncreati zed dogs.
