Abstract
THE attention of those who are interested in the problem of secretion is directed to a series of three papers by Dr. Robert H. Bowen, of Columbia University, New York, which have appeared in the current volume of the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science (vol. 70, parts 1, 2, and 3), and especially to the very capable critique of the topography, structure, and function of the Golgi apparatus in glandular tissue which he has given in a fourth paper (part 3, October1926). Believing that the older theories of secretion had broken down and that the field was clear for the thorough examination of the Golgi apparatus as a synthetic intermediary in the process of secretion, he has concentrated his attention on this subject and has made only brief references to the secretory possibilities of other components of the cell.
