This figure is slightly magnified. (After Miiller.*) the outer surface of the tubes. It is to be regretted that Miiller has not given some account of the microscopic appearances pre- sented by the inner surface of these tubes, since without some observations on this point, and particularly with reference to the charac- ter of the epithelium, it is not possible to form a definite notion as to the exact nature of the parts in question. Epithelium. — In examining the epithelium of the kidney, it will be convenient to com- mence with that of the Malpighian bodies, and thence to trace this structure through the tubes into the pelvis and ureter. It is scarcely possible to overestimate the importance of a careful study of the epithelial cells in different parts of the kidney, since accurate observations upon this point must form the basis of an exact knowledge of the physiology of the gland, and of the pathological changes to which it is liable. Epithelium of the Malpighian bodies. — With reference to the epithelium of the Malpighian bodies, it will suffice to recapitulate here what has already been fully detail
