The greater portion of the paper is devoted
to the consideration of the subject to which I
have now referred. The author also describes
at some length the method he employed in
injecting the vessels of the lungs. The chief
novelty of his plan is the simultaneous injection
of two sets of vessels by an equal amount of
pressure, by means of an apparatus which he
has contrived for the purpose.
The author here and there refers to some
points in the physiology of the lungs, and his
views of the subject are certainly peculiar
ones. For examples, in speaking of “the tissue
of the pleura itself” he says “this structure ‘must
‘therefore be a product of secretion of the cellular
tissue immediately beneath it” P.5.
while he admits that the mucous membrane of
the bronchial tubes is nourished from the bronchial
vessels he believes the bronchial mucus to be
furnished by the pulmonary vessels. P55.56.
