Even in some of the internal secret-ing glands, as, for example, the islets of Langerhans of the pan-creas, functioning is associated with the storage or exhaustion ofintracellular products which may be similarly interpreted. Bymeans of these secretion antecedents an observer, who has, byexperiment and observation, acquainted himself with the secre-tory mode, may form an estimate of the secretory potential atthe time of observation. In the thyroid gland, on the other hand, the search for suchevidences of secretory activity, has
