Of the two aortic arches, one arises together with the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle, and, as it crosses over, the left communicates with it by a small opening, so that, although the arterial and the venous blood are completely separated in the heart, they intermingle outside of this organ. In birds the circulatory system is substantially the same as in mammals; but in all vertebrate forms below birds the blood distributed to the tissues is imperfectly oxidized oi* is partially venous. As a result of the entire vascular arrangements in the frog, etc., the least oxidized blood passes to the lungs, and the most aSrated to the head and anterior pai-ts of the animal. Whatever ground for differences of opinion there may be as to the extent to which the phenomena we have as yet been describing are mechanical in their native, all are agreed that.
