The following study adds, therefore, but little to our knowledge of the changes involved, but is of interest chiefly in that it correlates these changes with the functional disturbances described in the first section of this paper, and also in that it makes clear the reason for certain discrepancies which are found when the weight of the kidney is taken as a measure of the amount of functioning tissue present in it.
