divisions which constitute the lobulettes are quite
arbitrary and may be made in almost any
direction, and into as many subdivisions as may
be desired; since each lobulette is only a congeries
Leaflets
of the ultimate leaflets which again are small
bodies, separated partially from each other <s>partially<\s> by a fold
or sulcus of the fibrous tissue, common to the
whole tissue by which they are invested.
The parenchymatic structure of the lungs is
wholly made up by an aggregation of these leaflets
into lobulettes; of the lobulettes again into lobules,
of the lobules into groups of lobules, and of the
groups of lobules into lobes -
[Q]uadrilateral
bodies
in the surface of the lungs, these leaflets
are so arranged as to represent a pavement
consisting of tiles of a somewhat quadrilateral
figure - The boundaries of these quadrilateral
bodies (as ay be seen in the drawing in series C
N<sup>o<\sup> 4 figure a) correspond with the fissures which
separate one leaflet from those which surround it.
The external or upper surface of each of these
quadrilateral bodies is covered, by an exceed=
=ingly vascular distribution of the pulmonary
artery, by which it is almost entirely ocupied,
