in the mucous membrane at all, and then these vessels
will be of the minutest size imaginable and have a
distribution totally different from and unlike to the
proper plexus which is connected with the pulmonary
veins - Both sets may however be made visible
in the same specimen, as already shewn in Series B
No 4, and both <s>are<\s> are then found to be entirely distinct, and
it is evident therefore that they enter into no sort
of anastomosis -
If the predominance of force in making the in=
=jections of the Pulmonary vessels has been applied
to the pulmonary artery the coloured fluid injected
into that vessel may have been made to pass through
the capillaries distributed to the leaflets into the
plexus, which lines the mucous membrane, and
then it can be made apparent that they are
continuous with that plexus, which however is
more nearly allied to the pulmonary veins,-
since the injection sent by the pulmonary artery
does not reach them, until after it has passed
through the capillaries of the leaflets -
This plexus makes the only deviation from that
which is perfectly simple and evident in the ar=
=rangement by which the arterialized blood is conducted
