Lacrimal gland.
It is an exocrine gland that secretes tears onto the surface of the eye (to the external environment). The adrenal and pituitary are endocrine (into blood); the pancreas is both endocrine and exocrine, but its exocrine secretions go into the GI tract, not onto the body's external surface.
