Now to be sure, insofar as the first question is concerned, it is possible to set up a tentative average value by means of data to be found in the literature of the subject. For example, this can be done simply by combining the figures contained in the papers...References1 DIETRICHSIEGMUND AH: Die Nebenniere und das chromaffine System, in Henke and Lubarsch's Handbuch der speziellen Anat. u.
