    such columns of fat do not accompany the nutrient vessels of the skin in those parts where the hairs are not seen. It seems, therefore, probable that this struct- ure has also some bearing upon the nutrition of the hair. Sweat glands are found not only in these canals, but elsewhere in the thick cutis. The coil of the gland is then usually situated at a level a little below the middle of the cutis vera, and not in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, as in thin skin.
