The curved or collecting tubule terminates in thedistal convoluted tubule, this in the irregular tubulewhich leads into the loop of Henle, a contracted portionof the tubule, and which terminates in the spiral spiral tubule terminates in the proximal convolutedtubule, which becomes contracted and then expands, form-ing the capsule of the Malpighian corpuscle.

The epithelium rests on abasement membrane, which is supported by a delicatefibrous coat. The cortical substance dips down between the pyra-mids, forming the columns of Bertin. A single tubulebecomes so multiplied by repeated divisions as to form acone or pyramid, and the pyramids of Malpighi may be
