Extract

The so–called rectal gland of Elasmobranch fishes claimed notice early in the history of scientific research, as might indeed be expected from the obviousness of its appearance and the invariability of its occurrence. But, in spite of this fact, the rectal gland remains one of those organs the knowledge of the structure of which is unsatisfactory, and the conjecture as to the function of which is consequently hazy.
