tubes belonging to the adjacent lobules. But though each lobule and each group of lobules is in a great measure distinct as regards their appropriate Bronchial tubes and Pulmonary arteries the case is strikingly different with respect to the Pulmonary veins; these do not, like the former, penetrate, as it were, into the substance of the lobules and thus become identified with a particular lobule, but they are invariably placed between contiguous lobules, and between contiguous groups of lobules, and collect their venous radicles (conveying of course arterial blood) indescriminately from the lobules between which they are situated. The only pulmonary veins, therefore, which are found in connection with the minuter Bronchial tubes and their accompanying arteries are the ramusculi, which collect the blood from the mucous membrane which lines those tubes. The true pulmonary veins, on the contrary are placed in the interlobular spaces which separate contiguous lobules and contiguous groups of lobules, and as respects the smaller bron= =chial tubes and pulmonary arteries are placed at a distance from them - <s>A d<\s>rawings, in Series C
