[ Plate 27.] The experiments described in this paper were designed to test thecorrectness of the view put forward by one of us,* namely, tliat theglomerulus is a propulsor. If this view be correct, the marked dilatationof the tubules, which is so prominent a feature in a kidney after activediuresis, is simply the expression of the forcible distension of the tubulefrom within, effected by the discharge of fluid from the glomerulus downthe tubule, the active propelling and dilating force being the intraglomerularblood - pressure transmitted through the glomerular capillary cells andepithelium. As, however, the condition of the glomerulus after
