The author in this paper offers some observations on the large secreting organs of the human body, namely,— The lungs, The liver, The kidney, The stomach, The intestines, and The developments connected with reproduction. He observes that there are great obstacles to an attempt to reduce them to a uniform type, but that further observation reveals a typical uniformity, in adaptation to special purposes, unequalled in the rest of the human œconomy.
