THE publication in 1656 of the Adenographia of Wharton, aYorkshireman, marks an important epoch in anatomical dis-covery. It deals not only with glands without ducts, e.g. thymus,but, also with his own discovery of the duct of the sub-maxillary gland.He gives careful descriptions of all these glands, their nerves, blood-vessels, &c. The results were originally given in his lectures at theCollege of Physicians in 1652. I have reproduced his two figures ofthe sub-maxillary gland of the ox, as he was the first to discover theduct of a salivary gland. He recognised that it conducted saliva, N ( 50 ) but, as regards the formation of saliva, he had recourse to fantasticviews of the action of the succus nerveus.

When astudent, and as yet only twenty-three, he experimented on the pancreaticjuice, made a temporary fistula, and collected the juice. The figurereproduced shows in part how the juice was collected, very much asit was collected by subsequent observers. It is interesting to notethat a similar receptacle is shown in connection with the parotidduct. By the same method he also obtained bile from the bileduct, but Malpighi, before this, had made a biliary fistula. Hepublished his observations, Disputatio medica de natura et usu SucciPancreatici, 1664. In the case of the pancreas he notes that onlya small quantity of juice was
