Stimulation of the spinal parasympathetic fibres in the greater and lesser splanchnics causes vasodilatation of the renal blood‐vessels, but the spinal parasympathetic fibres in the lumbar sympathetic trunk do not play a prominent part in such vasodilatation. The spinal parasvmpathetic fibres exert specific secretory effects upon the kidney. The greater splanchnics contain fibres which promote elimination of the total nitrogen; the lesser splanchnics excite the elimination of phosphate; while fibres in the lumbar sympathetic trunk play a less significant part in the elimination of both total nitrogen and phosphate. The greater and lesser splanchnics, as well as fibres from the lumbar sympathetic trunk, have a markedly excitatory influence on the elimination of sodium chloride, although there are individual differences as to the extent of this influence. We wish to thank the foundation “Hattori‐Hôkôkai” for the expenses of this research.
