Abstract
The regressive changes brought about in the thymus gland by transient circumstances, particularly those of nutritive kind, have for more than 250 years far too often been confused with those occurring in the existence of every individual at a certain period of normal development. To what confusion this intermingling of the accidental thymus involution with the age involution of the organ has led is clearly evidenced by the survey of the literature on the subject published elsewhere by the author (Hammar, 1926). During all this time, however, the existence of the age involution has for all intents and purposes never been doubted. It has been the privilege of the most recent times to create a new phase in the history of scientific mistakes by classing the phenomenon of age involution with the viewpoints of accidental involution
