Bowman's capsule may be regarded as the commence- ment of the uriniferous tubule. The wall of each tubule is formed of a delicate membrane, or tunica propria ; this is absent in the ductus papillaris. Until a comparatively recent time, this membrane has been regarded as wholly homogeneous and structure- less. Ludwig shows, however, that though, in his own language, '' this is as clear as glass, elastic, a nu- cleus can occasionally be brought to view. See Chap- ter III.
