 note = {Morphological investigations of the mid-gut glands were performed in the prawns, macroanatomically.
Of particular interest was the elucidation of the system of proximal branching
ducts assembling in the collecting cavity, and an opening of the latter connecting with the
mid-gut. Tissues were extirpated from specimens fixed previously with 10% formalin; and
following dissection, their cut-ends were observed under the dissecting microscope. Copy-drawings of
the tissues as observed horizontally, sagittally, and transversally were made. Subsequently, three dimensional restorations were constructed for a better understanding. As a
result, it was recognized that there were individual differences in: volumes of the cavities,
degrees of developments of the ducts, and conditions of the diverticula. It seems therefore that
the above differences of inner structure may be due to nutritional habits of individual prawns.},
