ResumoThe present communication is in the nature of a recantation. We shall make no attempt to give a complete historical account of the discussion of this subject. Such an account up to the year 1912 has been given by Vincent (10) and up to 1913 by Biedl (1). The earlier investigators looked upon the parathyroids as embryonic thyroids and a belief in some kind of morophologica and physiological relationship between the two glands has per sisted up to the present time. But since the appearance of the papers of Vassale and Generali (7, 8, 9) the majority of authors have regarded the parathyroids as organs sui generis.
