with the Bronchial arteries with which they are in relation - these Bronchial veins cannot be injected in a retrograde direction because of their valves, but if proper care be observed the injection sent into the Bronchial arteries can be made to flow into these veins through the Bronchial capillaries. Lymphatics Besides the veins already mentioned as occu= =pying the sub-pleural cellular tissue a very extensive plexus of lymphatic tubes is found minutely ramify= =ing in the same structure - These lymphatic ducts make their way from the interior of the lungs by passing through the fissures which divide the lobules and the minute leaflets of which the lobules are made up. They are spread over the surface of the lungs in n intricate meshwork and form larger vessels, which run in a straight direction across the sub-pleural tissue to reach the posterior mediastinum - Nerves. In the sub-pleural tissue also, the termination of the nerves derived from the pulmonary plexus are to be distinguished. The nerves from this plexus are distributed to every part of the lungs, and in their ramifications correspond very closely with those of the Bronchial artery - It is clear and beyond
