their smaller branches from the same lobules, and these
smaller veins intersect each other as they cross the
interlobular spaces, so that it is found impossible
to separate the lobules and groups of lobules from
each other without tearing across some of these
small branches, but no direct trunk of anastomo=
=sis such as is seen in the veins of the extremities
and in the larger Bronchial veins are ever to be found uniting the trunks of the Pulmonary
veins -
These remarks respecting the Bronchial veins, which
accompany the Bronchial tubes ought not, properly
speaking, to have been mentioned in this place,
while describing those structures which belong to
the subpleural cellular tissue and to the exterior of the
lungs, they are incidentally mentioned however, in con=
=sequence of the other veins to which they are allied
having introduced their notice -
The existence of any such veins has lately been
denied by some modern writers who have found it
easier to ignore their existence than to take the
trouble to search for them: they cannot be overlooked
if they only be sought for (after the Bronchial artery has
been properly injected): they are very large in comparison
