    very distinct kinds, the mucous gastric glands, with a cylinder epithelium and the peptic gastric glands (Magensaftdriisen) with cells similar to those which exist in man. A more detailed description of some forms will be found in my 'Mikroskop. Anatomie' (II, 2, p. 140); and I here subjoin figures of the two forms of the glands in the dog, merely to render my meaning intelligible. The secretion of the gastric glands has not been so com- pletely examined in man, that we can say with certainty whether they all secrete gastric juice or not. A few experi- ments which I instituted with regard to this point, tend to Fig. 204. A, mucous gastric gland of a Dog, from the pylorus, with cylinder epithelium : a, wide cavity of the gland; b, its csecal appendages. B, peptic gastric gland from the middle of the stomach: a, common trunk of the gland ; b, its chief branches; c, terminal caeca; x 60. C, a portion of the cseca, x 350, and viewed longitudinally. D, the same viewed in transverse section: a, membrana propria ; b, large cells close to it; c, small epithelium round the cavity.
