Elements of pathological anatomy . ? The arrangement of the newly-formed vessels is represented in the annexedsketches, from plates by Hunter and Lobstein. Fig. 7 is a portion of coagu-lating lymph attached by a narrow neck to the peritoneal coat of an inflamedintestine. The vessels have a ramiform disposition, and freely anastomosewith each other. Fig. 8 is a piece of false membrane of the pleura. Thevessels are large, numerous, and farther advanced than in the other 9 affords a good illustration of the vessels of a coagulum of blood, asseen by Hunter and Home. Fig. Nothing is known, with any certainty, concerning the nerves of this organizedmatter. So far as my knowledge extends, I am not aware that any anatomisthas succeeded in detecting any in the adventitious membranes ; that they exist,however, may be legitimately inferred from the fact that they are capable ofexecuting the highly important function of nutrition, secretion, and absorption,which, but for this circumstance, they could not possibly accomplish. Myown opinion is, that plastic lymph, in whatever part of the body it occurs, inits progress towards organization, either generates its own nerves, or receivesthem from the neighboring tissues, in the coats of the vessels. I am the moreinclined to adopt this view from the analogy afforded by some of the primitivetextures, as the osseous and cartilaginous, which, there is every reason to be-lieve, obtain their nervous supply in this way. Absorbent vessels also exist;but their presence, like that of the nerves, has hitherto been a matter ra
