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.
