paek-thred^ This done, I blew up thcLongs, and fitting a 
corktotheendofthefyphon, I hung them in a chimney to 
dry. In a quarter of an hour they fubfided about a fixth part^ 
whereupon 1 ordered a per fon to ^atchthem, and to blow 
them up as oft as they fubfided. Which courfe continued \ 
they would not the next morning fubfidc a fourth part in three 
hours. And /'excepting three quarters of an inch diftance 
from the circumference of the lobes, where the thinnefs of 
the lubftanceofthe Lungs gave the external heat the advan. 
tage of a fudden paflage, and quick difpatch of drying thofe 
parts leaft furniflVt with moifture,) I did not perccive.making 
a proportionable allowance for the drying of the whole fub- 
ftance of the Lungs, any confiderable fubfiding in two days 
more. But upon the blowing in at the fyphon ("whofe liga. 
ture I was now forced to renewj) I could eafily feel the Air 
to pafs through the external membranes^ both on the con- 
vex and concave fides, towards the extremity ©f the cir-

Manh^^th^ I carefully cut off one of the lobes, and the m.

Air to come equally out at ail the pores I had expofed to view* 
Whereupon 1 fixed fpittle in feveral places, and upon frefh 
blowing found multitudes of bublesj made in the denudated 
parts of the lobe. Immediately I made a deep tranlverfe in* 
cifion into that lobe^ and blovring in at the fyphon, I found 
the Air to come fo freely out at the larger ramifications of the 
bronchiie^thu I could not give the lobe a confiderable rife with 
a ftrong blaft ; Yet upon flopping with my fingers the larger 
paflages of thc^ronckm^ which I had catj I found that lobe^
