The American journal of anatomy . 5 it will beseen that it has undergone certain changes as compared with theyounger stage shown in figure 4. A vascular plexus still envelopsthe appendage everywhere. This consists of a thin walled endo-thelial network whose meshes vary in size and pattern and lieclosely against the epithelial wall of the appendage. In thedrawing only the more prominent loops are shown; besides thesethere are everywhere small anastomosing capillaries that inter-vene between them. The network as a whole is richer over thesac and over the proximal flaring portion of the duct and is morescant over the narrow portion of the duct. Running throughthe plexus there are a few larger channels that have been sepa-rated out. These form main drainage channels that becomepartially detached from the general plexus, though the latter con-tinues to anastomose with them at frequent intervals. One ofthese is the so-called vena aquaeductus vestibuli. This forms Sinus dur. Saccusendolymph (DM
