Abstract
There can be no question as to the connection of gall-bladder and liver lymphatics. It is free and extensive. The composition of the 2 lymphs is identical, and injs. into the liver substance are readily traced into the gall-bladder lymphatics. These facts have been demonstrated for the cat, rabbit, monkey and dog, the freedom of communication being in the order of the listing of the spp. A final fact marches with them, namely, the similarity in protein content of serum and liver lymph. These findings show that the liver cells are bathed in blood plasma, and in this respect are perhaps in a unique position in the mammalian body, the situation in the spleen being the only one which has the probability of similarity.
