Summary Terminology of the cortex of the kidney is discussed and some new terms are suggested. Observations are described on 50 kidneys which have been injected and variously dissected. These include descriptions of the medulla, papillae and calyces. Some developmental, radiological and surgical aspects are mentioned and suggestions for further study are made.
