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.
