On the Morphological and Architectural Variations of the Kidneys in Domestic Fowls The investigations have been carried out on kidneys injected with latex and corroded in HCl. The kidneys were taken from 3 cocks, 20 hens, 2 turkey‐cocks, 4 turkey hens, 2 drakes, 5 ducks, 5 ganders and 3 geese at the age of 6 months to 1 year. The territorial distributions of the renal vessels are similar in all the four species. Venous “by‐pass” and anastomosis not mentioned in the literature have been described. The renal arteries manifest a high degree of variability concerning their origins and ramifications. Our hypothesis of the “longitudinal traction” correlates the “contracted” and “elongated” forms of the kidneys and their architectonics with the longitudinal development of the pelvis, i. e. the adaptation of the apparatus locomotorius to the living conditions of the species.
