Thence theduct passes in the manner represented in the marginal figure, towardsthe surface, and opens on the epidermis by an oblique valve-like aper-ture. The excretory duct is lined by epithelium, which is a prolonga-tion of the epidermis. These glands are numerously distributed; butespecially so in the palms of the hand, and soles of the foot.
