(Magnified 25 diameters.) objects under two different preconceptions, would see in them " passages" or "; Alung injected with wax readily misleads to the Fig. An imaginary section of a lobule of the human lung, carried parallel with the plane of distribution of the chief interlobular divisions of the bronchi. The latter are observed to multiply both on the dic/io- toinous and arborescent plan. (Original.') c, c, denote the smallest of the true bronchi which contrast by their smooth walls the alveolated intercellular passages a, a, a. The latter exceed the extreme bronchules slightly in diameter. Un- like these bronchules (c), which never inosculate, the intercellular passages (a), ramify in every direc- tion and at every plane, and frequently open into one another, establishing thus a free communica- tion for the air between all parts of the lobule. b, b, b, indicate the ultimate air-cells of the lungs. They correspond in size with the alveoli (them- selves true cells) on the walls of the intercellular passages, e, e, bottom of the sub-pleural or most superficial air-cells.
