it will be found that the terminal Bronchial
tubes split up into certain minute branches,
which, as they differ both from the ultimate
pulmonary tissue, and from the true Bronc=

considered as holding an intermediate con=

It is now proposed to call them, for the sake
of distinction 'pedicels'.

Their length does not much exceed their

what may strictly be called a mucous membrane.
The walls of the Bronchial tubes up to the
