INTRODUCTION At the present day the question of the origin of lymphatics hasbecome one of the most interesting problems and is holding theattention of perhaps as great a number of investigators as anyother problem in the field of embryology and anatomy. This ispartly due to the fact that the lymphatic system as a whole isthe last of the organ-systems to be taken up for more thoroughinvestigation, and partly it is the result of the impetus given bymodern physiology which has emphasized the question of therelationship between lymphatics and blood vessels and their func-tional significance in the economy of the organism. Although thisproblem has been attacked at various times in the history ofanatomy, relatively few important advances have been made,and it is only recently during the la
