=sentations of the air channels which exist in
the long bones of birds -
Whether these channels in the Pleura transmit
air only, or whether they transmit Bronchial
mucus, or whether they are in some way annex=
=ed with the Lymphatic system may <s>possibly<\s> perhaps be
a matter of doubt, but no doubt exists or can
by any possibility arise that the function they
discharge belongs exclusively to the process of
Respiration, since the fact that they derive their
blood from the Pulmonary system and not from
the Bronchial, leaves no possibility of a question
on that head -
Costal
Pleura
The costal Pleura in like manner derives its
supply of blood from the pulmonary vessels; about
eight or ten arteries of considerable size, deriv=
=ed from the pulmonary artery and about twelve
or sixteen corresponding veins of some magnitude
cross behind that fold of the Pleura (which some=
=times goes by the name of the broad ligament)
to reach the Thoracic pleura and to become dis=
=tributed upon it; imparting therefore to that
structure also properties auxiliary to the process
of Respiration -
