Abstract
1. Evidence is produced that the vagus controls the secretion of the cardiac and pyloric mucous glands and the mucous neck cells of the fundal glands.2. A histological procedure is described for staining these cells selectively and intensely.3. No effect of vagal nerve stimulation on the surface epithelial cells of the stomach has been seen.4. Innervated pyloric pouches cease to secrete on starvation, but secrete at once following the ingestion of food.5. Blood transfusion has been found greatly to improve the general condition of the decapitate cat after a long and complicated preparation.
