might have been injected by these vessels in the most perfect manner: the process of thickening which the tissue has undergone in connection with the Bronchial artery will have obliterated nd blocked up the capillaries belonging to the Pulmonary vessels to such an extent that it will be found impossible to inject them fully - Bronchial veins In the cellular tissue lying immediately beneath the Pleura, some veins of considerable size are to be seen, whenever the Bronchial artery has been fully injected. These veins are never distended by injection derived from the pulmonary vessels, however perfectly these latter only may have been injected throughout the lungs, and they never fail to become injected when the Bronchial arteries are so filled as to distend their capillaries. They return the blood collected from the sub-pleural cellular tissue and this blood is the residue of that sent to that structure by the Bronchial arteries and by none other. a drawing of these veins (as seen by the naked eye and of the natural size) is shewn in Series B N<sup>o<\sup>5 and a representation of the same, as seen when magnified to 20 diameters is likewise shewn in Series B N<sup>o<\sup>6.
