Abstract
Much information on lymph and tissue fluid appears as isolated articles in journals of physiology, immunology, anatomy and pathology. The authors of this monograph have attempted to correlate such data and present their views on the subject. The first chapter deals with the embryology and anatomy of the lymphatic system. Sabin's conception of the origin of lymphatics is held by the authors as opposed to the view of Huntington, McClure, Kampmier and others who believe that the earliest lymphatic trunks are established by progressive coalescence of originally discontinuous mesenchymal spaces. The latter view deserves more than passing notice in spite of the authors' preference. This chapter on the whole is, however, a well summarized introduction. The chapters on physiology of lymph and tissue fluid are excellently written and present a vast amount of data in readily available form. The chapters on the entrance of foregin particles and colloidal solutions into
