    THYMUS. Experimental proofs that it may be emptied of its juice by starvation and filled by nutrition; and (after Hewson) that the thymus is an appendage to the lymphatic system, largest, like the regular lymphatic glands, at the time of life when sanguification and growth are most active (App. to Gerber, plates xxxii—xxxiii. ; Introduction and Notes to Hewson; Lectures above cited; and Hunterian Oration, 1863). This view concerning the thymus has since been repeatedly advanced, especially in Germany, as a recent view or discovery; see, e. the French translation of Leydig, Traite d'Histologie, 8vo., Paris, 1866. In the following Cetacean :— PULMONARY GLAND OF THE CA'ING WHALE. A distinct body of the same kind as the thymus (Proc. Zool. Soc, May 24,1853,—misapprehended by Miuie in his paper on Globiocephalus, Trans. Zool. Soc, 1870). FISHES. 1. —Fibres of crystalline Lens.—Their thinness and smoothness in the Lampreys, and their differences aftording taxonomic characters in the class (Monthly Micros. Journ., April 1, 1869). 2. —Fovea centralis Betincs, in the family of Sparidce.—(Journ. Anat, and Physiol., Nov. 1867). 3. —The Lampreys,—though currently described as ' Dermop- teri' devoid of Fin-rays, have these rays. The Genital outlet a single tubular process in each sex. Spermatozoa of the Lampreys. Platyelminthes in the brain, seemingly allied to Goodsir's Neuronaia Monroii, and hence named by Gulliver Neuronaia Lampetrae. (Quart. Journ. Mic. Sci., Jan. and Oct. 1872, reporting E. Kent Nat, Hist. Soc.; Proc. Zool. Soc.', with engravings, Dec. 6, 1870, and April 20, 1875). 4. —Nondescript Ossicles, see Bones. 5. —Fin-rays in second Dorsal of Salmonidce.—(Report of East Kent Nat. Hist. Soc. in Quarterly Journ. Micros. Science, April, 1872. LUNG. Elastic tissue covering the lung, and an agent in expiration, especially m the Horse (Note, p. 360, to Wagner). I BONES. Nondescript Ossicles in the Skidl of osseous Fish (Ann Nat. Hist., Dec. 1869). v 2,—Reparation of Fractures, not necessarily a process like that of the original growth, since such flat bones as are developed in
