=tioned, namely the under and the interlobular surfaces
of the leaflets are allied rather to the Pulmonary
<s>artery<\s> veins than to the pulmonary artery, since
the colour which they exhibit, when the pulmonary
artery and pulmonary veins are injected with
fluids of different colours will more nearly corres=
=pond with that sent into the <s>former<\s> latter than with
that sent into the former - It has already been
remarked that the reverse of this occurs with respect
to the upper surface, since the capillaries belonging
to the pulmonary artery preponderate in that
situation.
A strong resemblance to an ordinary vegetable
leaf
is to be traced not only in the lungs themselves
taken in the aggregate but likewise in every ulti=
=mate leaflet into which the pulmonary structure
is subdivided, as well as in every intermediate
lobule or group of lobules: the upper convex surface of each
part resembles the upper or smooth surface of the
leaf, and the interlobular and under surfaces cor=
=respond with that portion of the leaf, on which
the venation appears.
The Bronchial tubes and pulmonary artery enter
the structure of the different parts of the lung,
