From the time of MascAanı°) and ÜRUIKSHANK®) authors have 
described the anastomosis between the lymphatics of the pleura and 
the lung to be such, that the injection mass would pass directly from 
the lymphatics of the pleura into those of the lung, especially after 
closing the main trunks which the pleural vessels form at the hilus 
by a ligature about the trachea. This fact is true; but the pulmonary 
lymphatics are filled, not from the anastomosis which takes place at 
pleura, but from that which takes place at the hilus. 
In connection with the lymphatics of the pleura it is necessary to 
say a word about the epithelium covering the pleura. KLEIN’) de- 
scribes stomata as being found between the epithelial cells. I have 
made many preparations of the epithelium and failed in every instance 
to find stomata either during expansion or contraction of the lung. 
Sections and reconstruction models demonstrating the above points 
were shown at the meeting of the “Anatomische Gesellschaft” in 
Berlin, April 19—22, 1896.

Nuove ricerche intorno ai Salamandridi normalmente apneu- 
moni e intorno alla respirazione negli Anfibi urodeli. 
Del Prof. Lorenzo CAMERANo in Torino. 
Dopo le ricerche di H. WILDER!) e le mie?) intorno ai Salaman- 
dridi normalmente apneumoni, recentemente il dottor EINAR LONNBERG 
di Upsala ha pubblicato un nuovo lavoro in proposito*). Io stesso ho 
presentato nella seduta del 23 Febbraio dell’ anno corrente della Acca- 
demia delle scienze di Torino *) un lavoro sullo stesso argomento di 
cui do qui le conclusioni.
