The scarlet or arterial blood is found (1) in the arteries or vessels which carry blood from the heart as well as (2) in vessels which proceed from the lungs. The purple or venous blood is found (1) in the veins generally, (2) in certain vessels ramifying in the liver, and (3) in others proceeding to the lungs. The difference between arterial and venous blood depends upon arterial blood containing a greater quantity of oxygen, and venous blood possessing more carbonic acid. Blood contains a large amount of gas (about half its_ own volume), principally the gases just named, but also some nitrogen, introduced within it probably by the lungs. § 3. Lymph is a slightly alkaline, clear, colourless, or pale yellow fluid, containing only 5 per cent., by weight, of solid constituents. It is thinner than Wood, but, like it, contains albumen, some salts, ancl spme extractive _ matters. It is devoid of red corpuscles, being in fact like the liquor sanguinis, and being, like it, capable of coagulation. Itis in fact (as before said) made of the exudation of the liquor sanguinis mixed with fluid absorbed from the aHmentary canal. Its likeness to blood is the more complete, since it contains numerous colourless corpuscles, " lynqjh corpuscles,'' and which are quite like the colourless corpuscles of the blood. o 2.
