None of these glands are very deeply placed, and all are easily accessible to palpation, provided their exact position is known and the animals are not too fat. The subatloid is a little more difficult to detect, but in thin animals the tips of the fingers can easily be passed under the wing of the atlas so that the condition of the gland can be examined. In a normal condition, any gland on being examined conveys a sensation of softness and elasticity of a special character which never varies. Palpation is painless.
