of each leaflet, and supply freely all the processes
of fibrous tissue by which the interior of each leaf=
=let is divided into its compartments
This plexus is much the most vascular of any
distribution of the Bronchial arteries, it is perfectly
independent of the Pulmonary vessels, and is evidently
provided for the reparation of the tissue of the leaflets
and air-cells which office it is equally evident the
pulmonary vessels are not in the east concerned in,
since their ramifications are simply such as will
most perfectly ensure their thorough exposure to
the air - Drawings in Series B No3 fig a & fig b.
shew this ramification in the leaflets of the plexus
derived from the Bronchial artery.
The drawings in series B No4 fig a & fig b are the
result of experiments instituted to shew <s>this rami=
=fication in<\s> that both the pulmonary vessels and the
Bronchial can be injected in the same specimens
and that their ramifications remain quite distinct,
since the injection in no part is seen to blend or
join in any way. Of course the second injection
by which the red fluid was forced into the plexus in
connection with the pulmonary vessels was made
under disadvantageous circumstances, in consequence
