Bottom of the Bag was very thick, and compofed of 
feveral Lamella half deftroyed, which fell off in Bits 
or Scales, and in Slime, at the leaft Touch. 
It appeared plainly upon the Infpec-

the Bag, that that was the Source of the 
Hydatides ; and, upon confidering what Sort of Parts are 
found on the Surface of the Vifcera, under their Inte- 
guments, it feems evident to me, that thefe lymphatic 
Globules were nothing elfe but the glandulous and 
lymphatic Grains of the Surface of the Spleen y dilated 
into Excrefcences by the ‘Difeafe , and puffed up by 
the Lymph , which the Difemper caufed to accu- 
mulate therein . — —And thus I conceive this Effed to be 
produced. 
I have proved in my Phyfiology* 
Proop. which is adually in the Prefs, that thefe 
glandulous Grains are nothing but the Ends of the 
Nerves, or nervous ‘Papilla , which receive the Ends 
of the lymphatic Veffels into their fpongy Texture: 
And I have, among others, inftanced in the Papilla 
of the Tongue, called glandulous Papilla , which are 
at the fame time the Organ of Tafte and the Re- 
ceptacle of the falival Lymph. 
A Part of the Nerves, which are diftributed into 
the Subftance of the Liver and Spleen, terminate in 
the Surface of thofe Vifcera , under the Form of 
glandulous or pulpous Grains. This fame Surface is 
the Seat of a great Number of lymphatic Veffels: 
And it is not to be doubted but thofe glandulous Grains 
are as neceffary for thofe Lymphatics , as the parotid
