These veins make their way towards the posterior
mediastinum and terminate in some of the
oesophageal veins, in the intercostal veins, in
the azygos veins and in short in any of the sys=
=temic veins, with which they may come into contact.
These are not the only veins, which return the
blood, brought by the <s>Pulmonary<\s> Bronchial arteries,
some large veins belonging to the Bronchial
system are always to be found accompanying
the larger Bronchi. They may be distinguished
from the Bronchial artery by being less firmly bound
down to the Bronchial tubes, and by the other characters
which distinguish veins from arteries<s>.<\s>, <s>They are

which intervenes between the large pulmonary veins
and the Bronchial tubes; <u>they have valves<\u>, and
short trunks of anastomosis crossing directly from
one <s>trunk<\s> Bronchial vein to another. In this
particular notwithstanding what has been asserted
by Rossignol to the contrary they differ from the
pulmonary veins, which <s>have<\s> never have any
such trunks of anastomosis; two contiguous
pulmonary veins are universally observed to derive
