Caudally this long space aftera course which can be easily pursued through thirty-seven sec-tions, as already stated, becomes more indistinct until it vanishesby the loss of its cavity in the confusion of the interstices of thetissue reticulum, but after a number of sections it is followed by asecond space, which, though shorter and simpler (figs. 13 and 31), 442 11d 4d OTTO F.

This again is fol-lowed by tissue which is still undifferentiated but coarsely retic-ulate and persistently suggests the potentiality of further lympha-tic anlagen. Both of the spaces described and figured are situatedin the axis of the injected channel and consequently in the axisof the ultimately complete thoracic duct.
