Rhinoceros unicornis, male Jim in London Zoo. The Parathyroid body. The external appearance and position accurately given by Owen. In histological structure it conforms to Welsh's type 4, consisting of small cells clustered so as to form globular alveoli. In some parts the masses of cells apparently do not surround a lumen, and in these places there is more resemblance to Welsh's type 3. The individual alveoli and cell-masses are separated from one another by a delicate pacling of connective tissue.
