The drawing in series A. No 3 shews the ramifications
of the Bronchial tube, when that has been laid
open, so as to expose its interior - the pulmonary
artery has been injected yellow and the pulmonary
vein red, in the specimen, from which this drawing
was taken; the mucous membrane, which lines
the Bronchial tubes has consequently a red colour
imparted to it from the very vascular plexus, which
ramifies on its surface - This plexus is wholly
and exclusively in connection with the Pulmonary
<s>vessels<\s> veins, and receives no anastomosing contri=
=bution from the bronchial arteries -
The drawing in series A No 4 is a diagram taken
from the calf's lung (in which the Bronchial artery
alone was injected, but this is not shewn in the
drawing). The object of the diagram is to shew
that each division of the bronchial tube goes
to its own special group of lobules, not anasto=
=mosing nor forming any junction with the lobules
that do not belong to its own special group.
Each group of lobules is distinct and separate as
regards the distribution of the Bronchial tubes
and as the peculiarities of the pulmonary artery
also strictly coincide in those particulars with the
