In the first few week's of infant life biliary coloring matter is constantly and distinctly to be found. In mild intestinal troubles the biliverdin is increased, probably owing to the increased acidity of the intestinal contents. 5. The relative proportion of cholesterine is the same as in The Vaso-Motor Apparatus. (J. S. P. Lord, On the Eternal Question of the Origin of the Lymphatics. At present there is far from agreement upon the question whether the lymphatics open at their origin in the serous cavities by orifices or stomata; those in Germany admitting the thing as demonstrated; others in France resolutely denying it; some remain in doubt. Mr. Klein, in the London Med. Record, Jan. 15, 1876, assures us that he has observed the lymphatics of the lung open by two kinds of mouths-the stomata and pseudo-stomata; the stomata communicating directly with the pleural cavity, and the pseudo-stomata opening in the alveolar cavities of the lung, with the bronchial mucous membrane intermediate.
