Dr. Heale admits as we have seen that injections may be transmitted by rupture from the bronchial arteries to the pulmonary vessels, but he gives no proof that in those instances the communi= =cation was really by rupture. It is difficult to conceive that such a happy triple rupture first out of one set of capillaries, then through the celular tissue, and lastly into another set of capillaries, should take place. Those who have made many injections know that it is much easier to send the injection from the pulmonary artery or vein into the air cells than into the corres= =ponding artery or vein. <s>The Editors of the Sydenham Society edition of<\s> Kolliker in advocating the existence of anastomosis between the bronchial & pulmonary systems of vessels does well to call to mind the “dilatation of the bronchial arteries & extension of the Zone of distribution, in cases where the circulation through the pulmonary arteries is interrupted, in which cases the bronchial arteries frequently wholly replace branches of the pulmonary artery, and become respiratory vessels; conditions
