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
