Haller is here obliged to reject the existence of the ampullula; and the reason he gives us is, that there are no villi formed on the internal surface of the rectum. He says, " Cum villi hic nulli sint neecsse est,-etiam alio modo et absque ampullula, chylum dc intestino' posse-SOTbCl‘l."

The absorbents of the glandular viscera are commonly found in two sets,- one which runs on the external surface of the Viscus, and another deep-seated, which accompanies the larger blootLvesscls. In the sound state of the kid- ney, I have very seldom seen the superficial absorbents; but in cases where the kidneys were diseased, and formed into large hydatids, those vessels, which, in the sound state of the viscus, from their niinutencss are with great diiIiculty seen, having enlarged with the diseased parts, become per- feetly distinct. They run from the outer edge of the kidney towards the inner, where they either blend in with the deep-seated set, or go separately to |
