Longitu= =dinal channels The second point to be observed in connection with the Pleura, consists in the fact that certain longitudinal channels of a remarkable character exist in it. These channels somewhat resemble the sinuses of the Dura Mater of the brain, but they differ from them in the circumstance that they are quite colourless and that if they transmit any fluid through them, that also is destitute of colour. Tubular passages These channels are in connection by means of certain tubular passages, running through the sub-pleura cellular tissue, with a number of fora= =mina, which may be seen on the surface of the lungs, and upon the interlobular surfaces also: these Foramina foramina, however, can only be seen when the Pleura and subpleural cellular tissue has been stripped off from the surface of the lungs and are always situated in the sulcus, which separates
