These vesicles receivedtheir present name from Haller, who called them ova Graafiana orvesiculce Graafiance. The story of the discovery of the gland we now know by thename of Peyer is interesting. JEAN CONBAD PEYER wasborn at Schaffhausen, in Switzerland, where he practised, dyingthere in 1712. He tells us that he saw these glands scattered indefinite portions over the small intestine, some singly, some in groups.He thought each had a pore at its summit and that they weresecretory (or conglomerate) glands and not lymphatic (or conglobate).His view was that they secreted a digestive juice which is most usefulin the lower part of the gut. I have reproduced his original figurefrom his work entitled De Glandulis Intestinorum eorumque mil etafiectionibus (Amstel. 1681). In this connection it may not be withoutinterest to reproduce a plate from N. Grews work showing these ( 52 )

In fact these old figures are particularlyinstructive, as the) give the length, size, and proportion of the severalparts of the intestinal tract in a way that appeals to one far morevividly than the mere citation of numerical data. Peyer also wrotean excellent account of the anatomy of the intestine of the fowl, andalso on Merycologia, sire de Ruminantibus (1685), or Rumination. Born at Dieffenhofen in the same year as Peyer, JEAXCONRAD BRUNNER, who studied at Strasburg, discovered in thewall of the duodenum of the dog and man, about 1672, the glands thatbear his name. He subjected the gut to the action of boiling water.(De Glandulis in duodeno intestino detectis, Heid. 1687). He publishedhis results on the pancreas in 1682 (Experiment
