Abstract
THE extirpation of the regional lymph node doubles the survival-time of a cutaneous homograft on the ear of a rabbit1,2. If we perform an indirect colour lymphography before and after extirpation, we can observe a further node which is connected to the lymphatic system within 2 weeks and which previously did not belong to this collecting area3.
