which are connected with each other by numerous branches, thus form- 
ing a complete network about the artery. From this network lymphaties 
pass to the branches of the pulmonary artery. These are usually two 
in number, one on each side of the arterial twig, and are connected 
by short branches. 
The network of lymphatics about the branches of the pulmonary 
artery extends across the intervening part of the lung to the venous 
radicles which they now accompany. In this manner two, rarely three, 
main trunks are formed which follow the course of the pulmonary vein. 
These trunks are connected by short branches but the network thus 
formed is not so compact as that about the artery. 
The lymphatics of the lung of Necturus, therefore, consist of a closed 
system of vessels intimately associated with the blood vessels: a condi- 
tion similar to that present in the lungs of higher vertebrates.

The body is to be injected if possible within 24 hours after death unless 
the weather be cold, when it may be better to let post-mortem rigidity 
pass off. During injection the arms are to be fixed in full abduction, 
the forearms supine, the fingers extended by fixing the fingers by means 
of large iron staples to a board passing behind the shoulders. After 
the preservative injection is finished the board is to be removed and not 
reapplied for the colored injection. The apparatus is a set of T-tubes, 
size to fit the common carotid artery, a 5-gallon bucket with stopcock, 
swivel, rope and pulley to run it up to the ceiling, 15 feet of three-eighth 
inch bore red rubber tubing, tongs to suspend the body from the ceiling 
by the external auditory canals and rope and pulley for the same. 
Nearly 10 gallons of fluid are to be used, the first 5 gallons with the 
body lying on the floor, the second 5 gallons or as much over the first 
5 gallons as the body will hold while suspended from the ceiling. For 
hardening a body to be used as a His’ model with movable viscera use 
recipe 1; for dissecting purposes use recipe 2; for operative surgery use 
recipe 3. The body can be stored indefinitely in the solution, recipe 4. 
For arterial colored mass use recipe 5, injecting not less than a week 
after the preservative.—
