Extract

The author stated that the different lymphatics, as they enter the gland, become deprived of their external tunic, which passes on to the surface of the organ, to assist in forming its capsule. The middle tunic also becomes weaker, and presents the appearance of fibres arranged in the form of arches, which enclose rounded or oval spaces, particularly towards the surface of the gland, and at the angles formed by the anastomosis of one lymphatic with another.
