Objects to be
attained
In making an injection of the lungs,
the only result that can be at all worth
aiming at, must be to be enabled thereby to
discriminate one set of blood vessels from another
and to make out the distributions and peculi=
=arities of each; if, however, the object to [is] merely
to make ornamental preparations, without doubt
that end may be attained with very considerable
success and an exceedingly small amount of trouble,
by using injection of only one colour, and by
adopting the convenient theory that they all,
arteries and veins, anastomose together, supply
the same tissues and are in every respect alike.
Size and vermilion.
If this plan be adopted, and this
end only sought after, an injection consisting of <s>size<\s>
size and vermilion will answer all the purposes
very admirably; beautifully injected specimens
can be made for the microscope by this means, but
no physiological deduction can be drawn from them.
The vermilion will withstand a great deal of wash=
=ing and coarse manipulation, which would destroy
any preparations containing injections made with
