The salivary glands are two flattened organs, formed of a small 
number of large, clear, transparent cellules, and furnished with a large 
and very transparent nucleus, containing two largo irregular nucleoli, and 
a pale cylindrical body convoluted like an intestine. This is not homo- 
geneous, but consists of dark transverse striae regularly alternating with 
bands of an intermediate clear substance. This cord appears to be 
enclosed in a membranous envelope, thus forming a tube. The action 
of reagents on the various parts of the nucleus is described, and the 
opinions of other histologists on similar structures discussed.
