Ruminal lymphvessels from the goat were investigated with light- and electronmicroscope after blockade of the lymphdrainage and vascular perfusion by means of yellow fix solution. The lymphvessels of the ruminal wall do not originate directly from below the epithelium but from the deeper layers of the Propria mucosae. As far as ruminal papillae are concerned, lymphatic vessels are only to be found at their base. All lymphvessels consist of a basement membrane and an endothelium. Only the ones which are situated in the Subserosa or in the musculature of the wall are provided with lymphatic valves.
