✦ Synopsis

This study of the kidney of Lepidosiren paradosa (South American lungfish) had been largely completed when Bargmann's ( '34) excellent paper on the subject appeared. However, since our findings differ somewhat I'rorri his, and since we have made more extensive observations upon some aspects of the problem than he did, thc resnlts arc given liere in detail. Bargmanii gives a complete snrvey of earlier literature on the kidney of the lungfish, and presciits fnlly his macroscopic findings, to which we have nothing to add. M7e vill confine ourselves, therefore, to a consideration of thp histology
