 thicker and the chyle more liquid. It is highly probable, however, that with the exception of the coloring matter it enters entirely into lhe circulation and com

 Lymphaties absorb fluid called lymph (which contains about 06 parts Of water in lO0) from the tissues, ani convey il to the lhoracis duct. This flaid is much like chyle. and contains matter capable of higher organization. II is probably derived from the blood. though it may contain parts of worn cut lissues.s The thoracie duct opens into the junction ol the left internal jngular and subclarian veins. Hence the blood and modify ing juices eventually become blood which we have already described. V 8a
