off from the surface of the lungs, it is found that
the texture of the lungs themselves is broken up into
lobules, by means of fissures which divide the
lobules from each other - These lobules are wholly
distinct and separate from one another as regards
the divisions of the Bronchial tube and of the Pul=

already observed, the small twigs of pulmonary
veins, crossing the space or interval which separates
the lobules from each other, bind the different lobules
together so that they cannot be disunited, except
by tearing asunder those small twigs of veins -
Lobulettes
Each individual lobule again is susceptible
of further sub-division: some of these lesser bodies,
thus formed, have been called 'lobulettes': but the
