In the history of opinions, to Boerhaave succeeds Bertin,who writes a long and laboured paper in the memoirs of theAcademy of Sciences for 1744; upon the whole, he may beconsidered as endeavouring to prove by dissection what wasrather an hypothesis with Boerhaave. Bertin describes glandsin the substance of the kidney ; but these he is careful to dis-tinguish from the corpuscules of Malpighi, which he also con-ceives to be the extremities of vessels merely. nusquam in cxterisvisceribus reperiri. In the epist. to Boerhaave, p. 77, wefind Ruysch speaking much more modestly : In rene humano rotunda corpus-cula esse, fateor, sed sunt tarn exilia, ut nihil possim definire de illis. Adeo-que non licet magisdicere ^uod sint glanduls, quam aliud quid, OF THE KIDNEV 271 M. .Buvii/is C. From this plate we shall easily understand Berlins descrip-tion. He observes, in the first place, that there are to be seenserpentine vessels, such as Ruysch described : for example, atA A A,* which arising at the circumference of the corticalsubstance, are reflected inward in a tortuous form, and which,at last, approaching the tubular part, terminate in straighttubes, or are continued into the tubuli uriniferi (for exampleat B B.) But betwixt the meshes of vessels which are described, andwhich are seen here to terminate in the tubuli, there are bedsof glands C C C, which acervulae of small glandular bodiesare as it were laid in the tract from the circumfei-ence towardsthe centre, and appear to terminate or to be connected withthe tubuli uriniferi as the arteries are. M. Ferrein has opposed all these opinions in a paper of theAcadem)^ of Sciences for 17
