In many cases theapparent prolongation of the tonsil to the dorsum of the tongue and alongits lateral margin is found on section to be composed entirely of mucousglandular tissue. The capsule in every case is quite definite, and not only forms theboundary of the tonsil, but appears to enclose mucous glands and theirducts. These mucous glands in connection with the tonsil are generallynumerous throughout the mammalian series. They tend to be morenumerous on the side of the to
