Their analyses of the chyle of the horse are given in the following table: Solid Spirit-extract, Water-extract, Water. constituents. Clot. Albumen.

Thechyle in these cases separated into a bright red clot, and opaque, milky serum. The fifth analysis was made with chyle (taken from the same horse as in analysis 4) after its passage through the mesenteric glands, and the sixth analysis, with chyle, previous to its passage through them. In the former case, the chyle was of a bright red colour, and co- agulated perfectly, forming a pale red clot, and a reddish white serum ; in the latter, it was white, and coagulated very imper- fectly ; in fact, instead of there being a clot, there was merely a transparent yellowish film; the serum was white and milky. 1 Wagner’s Handworterbuch, vol. 1, p. 235, article ‘ Chylus.’
